Neanderthal Woodwoses (Wildmen)


  


 
Several of my friends at Facebook are involved in a search of old historical documents
looking to find depictions of Wildmen or Woodwoses in the illustrations and illuminations. This one example shows several Wild People of both sexes and are better than usual pieces of artwork




In this case though the bodies of the creatures are unusually burly and muscular, and are hence much closer to the way Neanderthals really were in that respect. The males in this set all wield clubs. One of the Wild Men is also fighting a small Dragon or Wyvern, and in this case  it is plausibly enough a representation  of a large winged and two-legged bird such as we have guessed is  the culprit  in the case of the "Winged and feathered serpents" of Wales.
