Amesbury Psalter
by an unknown English miniaturist
1240s
Illumination on parchment, 305 x 216 mm
All Souls College, Oxford
Oohh I love illuminations! Another strangely mature Jesus finds nourishment in a conveniently located breast. Mary manages her breast feeding duties while simultaneously stepping on a lion AND a dragon. The little lady in the left lower corner is a donor, who probably paid for the illumination.
