| Description |
English: The starboard cathead of the warship Vasa, displayed in the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Picture taken inside the ship from the upper gun deck looking toward starboard out through the openings in the bow. The wooden sculpture beneath the cathead represents a Polish noble performing a ritual of self-mortification by hiding under a table. The motif is intended to ridicule Poles, enemies of Sweden at the time of Vasas construction in the 1620s.
Svenska: Styrbord kranbalk på krigsskeppet Vasa. Bilden är tagen inifrån skeppet sedd från öppningarna i fören på övre batteridäck med vy åt styrbord. Träskulpturen under kranbalken föreställer en polsk adelsman som utför en självförödmjukande ritual genom att gömma sig under ett bord. Motivet är avsett att håna polacker, fiender till Sverige under den tid Vasa byggdes på 1620-talet. |
