As I approach the end of my undergraduate degree in archaeology, I wanted to make a small thank you gift for my dissertation supervisor. She specialises in the early medieval period and is a big cat fan so I found a funky image from a Medieval Manuscript and embroidered a version of it for her!

The original image (final image!) is from the Peterborough Bestiary, produced in Peterborough, England during the early 14th century and now housed at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge (MS 53, fol. 197v).
