Description
-
Being carried to the tribunal of justice Sancho is placed in the chair at the head of the hall with an attendant by either shoulder and told to answer the questions presented to him by the city's inhabitants. The second dilemma presented before Sancho, were two ancient men, one with a cane in his hand for a staff (pictured on the right, arms crossed) and the other without any staff (pictured on the right picking up coins from the ground). Having sworn to have never been loaned ten gold, Sancho commanded the cane to be broken before them all, which is done by a young attendant of Sancho pictured on the left with the head of the cane in his right hand . Which being done, there were found in the hollow of the cane ten crowns of gold. The old man who lent the money dropped to his knees and picked up the ten crowns of gold. The onlookers are surprised to find the gold hidden within the hollowed out cane and amazed by Sancho Panza's wisdom.
