Baltimore, Walters Art Museum, W.82, fol. 194v. #medieval #MedievalArt

I wonder what passed through the head of the scribe that specifically made the ram's horns the exact same tone as its pubic hair (and probably spent actual gold filigree on both)

@medieval_illuminations you had me at don't mess with females

@riggbeck @medieval_illuminations I saw this one in the theater. And had DVD for many years. Very solid movie.

@erikcats Huh, I do the same with my cat. Do you also make amusing shotgun sounds when you “load” and “shoot” your shotgun cat?“chick-chick… MEOW. chick-chick… MEOW.”
