As hell mouths go, this one is freakin adorable (and kind of looks like a hermit crab?)

A solemn and beautiful enthroned Virgin & Child in the gothic style, from 14thc Umbria. Even though much of the gold paint has faded, Mary's blue robes still stand out brilliantly.

I love this 15thc terracotta bust of a young John the Baptist so much, he looks like your secondary school boyfriend who is always holding a Charles Bukowski novel with the title facing out and tells you that your music taste is "actually pretty decent."

...and while he clearly devoted much time to these serious problems, he also gave a lot of space to very silly sketches of camel robots and trapeze artists' bums, and that's just great.

Primroses have long been associated with poultry in England, as both chicks and primroses are bright yellow. 19thc children were warned to not bring less than 13 primroses to house (the optimum clutch of chicks) - fewer primroses meant fewer eggs would hatch. #FolkloreThursday

My jaw dropped when I saw this exquisite reliquary statue of St Anne carrying the Virgin and Child. The back inscription says that it was made by Hans Greiff for Anna Hofmann, wife of the city collector of Ingolstadt in 1472. It was likely placed in her home for private devotion.

Constant appearances of these delicate bois

10/10 hellmouth, complete with knackered demon babysitter and damned souls just psyched to be here.

Oh, you wanted nightmares? Giovanni da Modena's Inferno has you covered.

@FKAtwigs One of my favourite manuscripts, BL MS Additional 50005 (c.1420), is a particuarly gruesome and dynamic piece of work, however the 'noli me tangere' ('touch me not') scene between Mary and Christ depicts a moment of hope and peace. 7/?
