This delectable recorder-playing dragon appears in the margins surrounding of a large illumination in Boccaccio's Fates of Illustrious Men and Women. It would make a great jigsaw puzzle. Better yet, it could prompt a story. Is it part of a musical quartet (if so, who else plays?)? A runaway from dragon life (if so, why?)? Is it a dragon brought up in a human court after hatching from a captured egg? I think it's alive and not a toy, but I suppose it could be a clever marionette. Now, if it is a dragon buttoned into a onesie, what are three other things that must be true of its world?
