@medieval_illuminations I love the monkey's expression 😁

@medieval_illuminations I feel like “jousting with a fork” deserves a mention, but I understand how you got distracted.

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)
