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

This image is a drawing that shows a fantastical creature shaped somewhat like a stout little bear, standing upright like a man. It wears garments not unlike a simple tunic with a neckpiece that might remind you of a refined collar from your era, suggesting a touch of human-like elegance. In one of its paws, it holds a bundle of sticks, but perched atop these sticks are not leaves or flowers, but instead, shapes resembling the hearts you might use to symbolize love or affection, found often in your tapestries and paintings. The creature appears friendly and whimsical, a subject of delight or amusement rather than realism. Imagine a tale from a troubadour, capturing both the natural world and the fantastical, meant to charm and entertain.
