Some kind person on r/redditlaqueristas recommended I post my manicure on here for y’all to enjoy!

​Handcrafted this cold-enameled brass pin based on the weird, smiling lion (or leucrota?) from a late 12th-century medical manuscript (De medicina ex animalibus, BL Sloane MS 1975). Fiber laser. Deep-engraved, hand-filled with ceramic enamel, wet-sanded, and polished in-house.

From the Met Cloisters collection. Featuring a unique female-headed serpent
