Hartigan-Go — British Library MS Arundel 16, f. 2

The items are a page from an illuminated medieval manuscript. The first image depicts the full page, with its artwork and neat handwritten calligraphy. The words are rendered in light brown ink. The second image is a close-up picture of the artwork to the upper left corner of the manuscript page. The art is drawn with red, blue, and green pigments, and depicts a scribe surrounded by many fantastical animals. The third image is another close-up picture, which focuses on the written inscription at the bottom of the manuscript page. The colour at the bottom is lightly faded, and it appears to have some ink blots or stains.
