From the sacred heights of the Aberdeen Bestiary to the irreverent chaos of the manuscript margins. A dual-talisman set for the seeker of history, humor, and high adventure.

The Tale

Why choose between the mythic and the mischievous? This curated set brings together two of the most iconic figures from the Middle Ages, representing the full spectrum of a scribe’s imagination.

The Bestiary Satyr: Taken from the 12th-century Aberdeen Bestiary, this figure represents the untamed mystery of the natural world. In the medieval mind, he was a guardian of the wild, a creature of the forest who stood as a testament to the wonders of creation.

The Marauding Hare: Straight from the 14th-century margins, this "Killer Rabbit" is the king of the World Turned Upside Down. Armed with an axe and shield, he represents the medieval love for satire—a tiny, fierce reminder that power can be found in the most unexpected places.

The Craft

Both pins are designed to feel like fragments of a master woodworker’s block, preserving the stark, high-contrast aesthetic of ancient ink.

The Material: Laser-etched from 1/8" Birch Plywood for a sturdy, archival feel.

The Finish: Left Natural & Unsealed to honor the raw texture of the timber and the depth of the laser-engraved "quill strokes."

Dimensions:

The Satyr: 2" x 1.5" (A commanding, mythic profile).

The Hare: 1" x 1" (A compact, battle-ready sentinel).

The Hardware: Each pin features a standard metal back with a secure rubber clutch.

The Dungeon Master: Use them as "Inspiration Tokens" for players who lean into the weirdness of your world.

The Bibliophile: A thoughtful gift for the reader who finds as much joy in the footnotes as the main text.
