Slow looking Analysis (Object 3 )

Describe what you see:  what it is; what its shape is; how and from what it was made; what decoration, damage, or other striking details it possesses.  

Then describe the social and historical context of your object (the object’s time, place, and purpose).  In this section, you may include:  what the object is for; when and where it was made; when and where was it used, and by whom.  Discuss its purpose, its place and historical period, and its cultural significance.  Explain how it contributes to your understanding of the monster.  (Not all of these questions will apply to all objects! Focus on areas that help shed light on your monster.)

 In this section, you must also illustrate your primary artifact with at least two other objects of interest.

Page from the Beowulf Manuscript showing possibly Beowulf and a dragon in combat with fire in the background. The manuscript is destroyed from one side so the entire painting is not visible but the background is red color so that could be fire and the guy could be Beowulf who is fighting the dragon. In addition to the flame in the background, the serpent-like tail of the dragon is also visible so that supports my analysis that the other character in the picture with Beowulf is in fact the Dragon that he went to fight.
