So those were drawn the 1200s, huh? Crazy and kinda funny. Epic battles and even maybe a monster?
"Onfim's illustrations include pictures of knights, horses, arrows, and slain enemies. One image, "a portrait of himself, disguised as a fantastic animal [[[the one I put above here]]],"[11] is found on item 199 (pictured; it was originally the bottom of a basket made of birch bark), which contains a picture of a beast with a long neck, pointy ears, and a curly tail. The beast either has an arrow with feathers in its mouth or is spewing fire; one of the accompanying texts says "I am a wild beast". Another text says "Greetings from Onfim to Danilo," most likely a friend or classmate of Onfim.[12] The number of fingers on the pictured people's hands varies from three to eight; Onfim had yet to learn how to count.[13]"
