There's also one of the little ones on the table in the January plate in
_Tres Riches Heures_, next to the little dogs. It seems to have dishes

feast gear about. It would seem to me that someone is trying to make
period custom fit SCAdian form. Kinda backwards, IMHO.

I've never heard/seen the usage. But then I'm down in wild and wooly
Summits, the Arkansas of An Tir.

Hey Anne-Marie, what do they say in the Big City?
