Draco reconstructions

"(BTW, I should add that the St. Gall Psalter draco could be green because it was constructed of copper alloy)."<br>

Off topic here I know, but if that's true then there is also a depiction in the same picture of a horse in a copper alloy body stocking! Be careful when making assumptions about colour, even when it is contemporary. I do not believe Norman knights, for instance, rode blue horses whose left legs were coloured orange, despite the contemporary evidence of the Bayeaux Tapestry. Colour can be dictated by a number of factors. One is the appearance of reality; another is convention and another is the range of colours available to an artist. There are many more I am sure.<br>
