The Golf Book (Book of Hours)

f. 25r, calendar, July


Back

The bottom of the border shows a cart of hay that is almost dry driven by a peasant brandishing a whip. He is followed by another peasant with a farming implement only the shaft of which can be seen. Watching them is a labourer who may have helped fill the cart with hay, leaning on a pole with a fork lying on his right shoulder. 
A medallion on the right-hand side depicts the sign of Leo, underneath the convincing naturalist iconographic model of a lion shown in profile walking towards the left. The phylactery under the animal reads “leo”.
