From left to right: a crossbow, a snake, an anthropomorphic figure and a cross in a circle. On the bottom left: another snake.

This medieval engraving is located on a door architrave for apotropaic effects. The crossbow and the cross protect residents from evil (the snakes). Some researchers hypothesize the scene represents St George fighting the dragon (the cross being his shield), although it is unlikely.

There’s so much about this. The tumble itself is so irredeemably funny. The child stops asking for food and just stares in silence as the adult completely beefs it. The adult, absolutely ashamed, wandering off screen, refusing to make eye contact with the baby.

Perfect 10s all round.
