Original View of the So-Called Cockaigne
Cockaigne is a medieval mythical land of plenty, often depicted as a place where social conventions are overturned. Alternatively, Cockaigne can also refer to the Italian tradition wherein attempts are made to climb a greased pole to attain a prize mounted at its top. The scene presumably depicts one of these.
