This is a depiction of the zodiac sign Taurus, created by the artist Claricia, who lived around the year 1200. The illustration is part of a larger illuminated manuscript, likely a calendar or a book of hours. The depiction of Taurus, a bull, is a highly stylized, symbolic representation, typical of medieval art, and is part of a page with a combination of text, ornamental borders, and figures. The image, likely used for instructional and devotional purposes, offers insight into medieval visual culture and beliefs.
