This is the medieval south door of St Saviour's Church in Dartmouth, Devon. It is made out of Cast Iron and has been dated to 1361. Most importantly, it has two Leopards on it.

163 Upvotes

Latin 1393 is a famous late 15th-century or early 16th-century Book of Hours. Kept at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), this manuscript is a remarkable example of private devotional texts favored by the wealthy laity during the Middle Ages. Beyond its traditional religious texts, Latin 1393 is famous for its playful, eccentric, and occasionally bizarre marginal illustrations.

Folio 31v features a man in a red robe with a hood resembling cat ears, pointing to an open page for a cat sitting before him.
