What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

In the image, there are two creatures that might resemble those animals known as hounds or dogs in your time, but these are drawn in a manner that shows them standing upright like humans. They are arrayed in festive attire, which includes hats that might remind you of a fool’s cap, long and with a soft tip that droops, but these are not meant for jest; they are traditional in some parts of future Christmastide celebrations. One animal is larger and appears to be an adult, and the other, smaller one could be its offspring. The larger creature holds a spherical object hanging from a string, similar to what future folk call a bauble, typically used to adorn a tree during festive seasons. Both creatures have exaggerated facial features for common hounds – very large eyes and noses and very little else for the muzzle or mouth, likely intended to appear endearing or inviting to observers. This portrayal is meant not for utility but for amusement and decoration, part of a custom where scenes of life, stories, and cheerful symbols are recreated in various mediums for enjoyment and celebration.
