The Creatura Nodosa (Knotted Creature) badge is a faithful replica of an absurd illumination from the English Book of Hours from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The scene depicts a bizarre four-legged creature with a striped body and a disproportionately long neck twisted into a knot that is topped with a human head. These playful marginalia show the unbridled imagination of artists of the time and served to entertain readers during prayers. This original piece of jewelry made of precision laser engraved and hand painted oak plywood will become a perfect and humorous detail on any outfit.

The Codex Marginalium series brings a playful revival of medieval manuscripts in the form of original badges that represent a unique combination of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship. The motifs are based on medieval marginalia - bizarre, humorous and often absurd scenes from the margins of historical manuscripts. These faithful replicas are transferred by precision laser engraving into quality oak plywood and then hand-painted in detail, making each piece a complete original. The overall distinctive humour and character of each badge is further emphasised by the playful Latin, or rather pseudo-Latin, name.
