Description   

Two oxen are being slaughtered in the large hall. Their legs have been trussed together and two men are cutting their throats. Opposite these men, two others hold bowls to catch the blood which will be made into pudding by a man in the corner fanning fires under kettles. An overseer and a clerk, holding batons, superintended the slaughtering and the plucking of a goose. On the balcon above hang joints of meat. The cords holding joints have been restored.
