Qasr mosaic leopard and VMS Leo/August image
#7
Sam,
Thanks for finding that mosaic. It's great.  This feline from the calendar was one of two images sent me by someone asking my opinion... almost exactly eight years ago... of a manuscript I'd never heard of - MS Beinecke 408.  )

I sent him back a photo of the coin that Koen's talking about, but the problem was really to show any continuance of that tradition in the western Mediterranean, and I think you've done that.  Fantastic!

In case you're interested, my re-post to Voynichimagery about this figure (reprinted from my research blog 'Findings') was entitled, "cross-eyed feline and red splash" .. you might enjoy some of the comparative imagery included.

PS -  Back then I was using the original Yale foliation, so if the foliation goes weird, it might help to cross-check with that, even though we don't use it now.  (Actually in some cases it was more elegant.  At least one side of one folio was always numbered as one side of one folio... :Sad

Great find, though.
