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

In this image, there are two jolly figures in a whimsical style, not unlike characters from a festal play or a mummers'' parade that you might see in your time. The first figure is a rotund, bearded man dressed in a large coat that appears to be for cold weather, and he wears a cap with a fluffy tip akin to the kind that might be seen in festivities during your winter. He symbolizes a bringer of gifts and joy during the winter months. The second figure is an animal with large ears and an unusual set of antlers, somewhat resembling a deer, yet with a fantastical twist that might remind you of mythical creatures. This creature is often imagined as a magical beast that can traverse great distances swiftly. Together, they conjure images of mirth and mystic travelers from distant lands or fairy tales. They are both drawn with bold lines and simple forms, making them appear almost like figures cut from parchment.
