Dragon Slaying in Egypt poet This is a title pageAbout this work of art About this piece In ancient Egypt, cunning hunters devised a clever plan to defeat the fearsome dragons. They lured the beasts onto a magical cloth inscribed with a powerful spell. As soon as the dragons stepped onto the cloth, they fell into a deep slumber, making it easy for the hunters to behead them. In the background on the left, one of the dragons can be seen attacking an elephant. This print includes a Latin inscription
