One Gallòglach and Two Kerns – Albrecht Dürer by FirstNightVintage
This is a detail of a 1521 drawing by Albrecht Dürer of Irish warriors. The gallòglach or gallowglass on the left is carrying a sword — a claidheamh mhòr — while the barefoot kerns to his right carry pole-axes and a cow horn trumpet.
