The badge Lepus Armatus (Armed Hare) is a faithful replica of a charming illumination from the medieval Breviary of Renaud de Bar (manuscript Verdun, BM, 107) from 1302-1305, which comes from the French city of Metz. The scene depicts a determined hare archer aiming a bow at a bird with a taut bow. Hares and rabbits in the roles of hunters or warriors were among the most popular motifs in medieval marginalia, where they personified the popular concept of a 'world turned upside down'. This humorous historical scene can adorn your lapel as an original, meticulously laser engraved and detailed hand-painted oak plywood badge.

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.
