What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

The picture depicts a lively and playful scene, quite akin to a medieval tapestry, but rather fantastical and whimsical in nature. There are three curious creatures two appear as rotund, joyful beasts, adorned with what seems to be blades bound to their feet, a strange appendage indeed! These blades remind one of the runners of a sled, yet attached directly to their shoes, allowing the creatures to glide gracefully atop a frozen pond, much like the winter games seen in colder climes.One creature, looking leftward, is equipped with a small cap atop its head and carries a heart-shaped object like some emblem of love or token of affection. The middle creature is garbed in a winter cap and a scarf, running on these blade-footings, suggesting it is in pursuit or part of a spirited play. The third, to the right, also adorned with a cap, stands upright with arms stretched wide, perhaps in welcome or in shock.The backdrop of the scene is dotted with small, circular shapes, resembling the falling of gentle snowflakes, adding to the wintry ambiance of this merry gathering. These animated beings are not of nature, but more akin to the creations from a guildsman''s imagination, crafted perhaps to amuse and entertain, much like puppets in a market square entertainment.
