Geburt Christi

Geburt Christi
By an anonymous German artist
1330
Tempera and gold on oak, 10.43 × 7.28"
Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne, Germany

O. M. F. G.

I think I may have peed myself a little.

First, there's Squishy, whose green swaddling makes him closely resemble a piece of okra.

And Mary, well her lower body is so huge I at first thought it was a red mountain range.

Finally, the ox and ass: they only come up to Mary's ankle. Squeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
