Letter B c. 16th century

Editor: So, this is "Letter B," by an anonymous artist. I'm struck by the intricacy of the design. It's like a tiny garden contained within the letter itself. What do you make of it? Curator: It whispers tales of medieval illuminated manuscripts, doesn't it? Imagine monks painstakingly crafting each letter. That interwoven foliage almost seems to be reaching out. Is it not so different from how our minds and thoughts stretch and grow? Editor: I hadn't thought of it like that – like a growing mind. Curator: Or maybe each tendril is a question mark, urging us to look closer at the stories letters can tell. What new questions does this piece inspire for you? Editor: That really changes how I see it, makes me appreciate its detailed design.
