There was a sf story where - this is probably a spoiler, but since I
can't remember what the hell it was... - a gimmick involved the society
being post-technical, having devolved back to about Rennaisance levels,
but with occasional old artifacts around; it became apparent at one
point that a building was, in fact, an abandoned spaceship, for example.
There was a reference, at one point, to an ancient picture, showing a
knight in armour on a desolate rocky plain, with a strangely coloured
full moon over his shoulder...
