Titled "MS Hunter 229 f. 6v December" this exquisite artwork is a testament to the skill and artistry of the English School during that era. The focal point of this image is the representation of December, depicted by the letter K. A bearded man dressed in a slate-blue tunic, red hose, and black boots stands astride a brown pig with his trusty butcher's knife-case at his side. With one swift strike of his hatchet-like tool, he brings down the pig for consumption. Adjacent to this scene lies an intriguing depiction of Capricornus, represented as a fantastical creature resembling a Chimaera. Its head and forequarters resemble those of a brown goat but transform into an elegant serpentine spiral adorned with shades of pink and dark orange. The background features deep blue hues intricately embellished with traceries in darker blue and white tones. The overall effect creates an enchanting atmosphere that draws viewers into this medieval world. The Hunterian Psalter contains various sections such as Kalendarivm, Psalterivm, Litania, Preces Qvaedam - all beautifully written by hand.
