Wow, this is so cool!! I love the artful way you redrew and presented the patterns. It called to mind a lovely day spent making little watercolors of the tiles at the Alhambra (not the same, but similarly engrossing patterns to focus on).
Very cool design. Unfortunate naming, perhaps, but it's not the only phenomenon out there to "suffer" from that. Beautiful examples too. Perhaps this is a typical guy observation, but I dig the guy shaking the huge scorpions. :D (is he a Mongol?)
This is so excellent, as always, thankyou. It has sent me back to a book of European illuminated manuscripts to look for the same.
On another note, what / who are the figures holding up large circular frames that enlarge their faces, on image no 2? I have a Chinese bowl with figures drawn exactly like this, and have always wondered what they are.

So interesting! Thanks. May I inquire about the title of this piece? I don’t quite get it...
