Olaus Magnus - On Rocik Trolls
Summary
We see a mine where a miner is working to the left. His tools are a sledge and a wedge. In the middle ore is hoisted up to the ground level. To the right a rock troll is working with an iron bar. Over the mine a nice landscape with trees, houses, corn fields and a stream.
