A not so sober cannibal

A giant cannibal from a Medieval illuminated Manuscript at the British Library, the Marvels of the East (11th c.). Note his dark skin.



I got this image in a very interesting book:
T. Husband, The Wild Man - Medieval Myth and Symbolism. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (1980), the catalogue of an exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum between 1980 and 1981 (worth having if you are interested in old cannibals, savages, wild men, etc.. I'll talk again about it later on).
