Woodblock print of wall paintings in the choir of the cathedral at Brunswick. As far as can be guessed it depicts a rather medieval looking version of the biblical Herods table with John the Baptist's head being bough in on a platter. Scanned and lovingly restored from an 1885 edition of Geschichte der Deutschen Kunst (German Art Illustrated) Volume 1 from the up-loaders personal archive.
