| Description: |
Bas-de-page scene of a man gesturing at a beaver, lying prone nearby (presumably to indicate to the hunter that he has already been castrated (see f. 101v); the testicles of beavers were believed to have medicinal properties, and according to legend, they would detach them when hunted). |

England (London/Westminster or East Anglia?) |
