It looks like the little fellow in the right foreground with a sword (an angel?) is about to smite the other little guy.
What’s up with that?

PS The big people appear to be trying to get them to behave and the midget on the left isn’t even armed, so it’s hardly cricket.

**It looks like the little fellow in the right foreground with a sword (an angel?) is about to smite the other little guy.**

He already did. If you look closely, you can see that the hands are cut off and still haven’t fallen to the ground.

It’s a fanciful play off of the passage in Jude 9, where the archangel Michael contended with the devil over the body of Moses. Except in that case, Michael didn’t even “bring against him a railing accusation” (let alone pull out a sword), “but said, The Lord rebuke thee”.
