Flemish manuscript border tradition

Flemish Border Snail

Themes & interpretation: Modern character interpretation; no fixed historical meaning established

Late Flemish manuscript borders often include carefully observed small creatures. The Hours of Joanna I of Castile contains a snail in the border of folio 36r. Our separate cropped snail image has not been securely matched to a folio, so the previous folio 44r attribution has been removed.
