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

This drawing presents a tableau most whimsical. At the forefront stands a great beast, its form resembling the legendary dragons spoken of in traveler''s tales, though it bears a mien not fierce but rather merry. This creature has a broad and smiling visage, and upon its back, plates akin to those of an armadillo are visible. This gentle giant is surrounded by trees as grand as any found in the king’s forests, their canopies lush and round.Perched in these trees are fantastical birds, crafted in simplicity yet spirited, with one appearing almost as a heraldic symbol, bearing a crown-like decoration on its head. The scene is pastoral and idyllic, decorated further with flowers of the field at the creature’s feet. In truth, this depiction seems a creation born of a child’s imagination or a tale spun by a minstrel to delight at a feast. It invites those who gaze upon it to wonder and perhaps recall the fantastical creatures of lore that roam the edges of maps and the wilds of dreams.
