Tapestry woven in silk and wool. The tapestry is framed with borders of military trophies, with a larger trophy of flags and lances at the centre top surmounted by trumpets crossed through a laurel wreath. The trophy in the centre of the lower border is of weapons, flags and guns. The centre of the scene is filled with a confused heap of mounted and fallen men desperately attempting to stave off an ambush in a wood to the right. On the left, a little further off, are more soldiers firing on a column of wagons passing along the road between the trees.
