Venture into wild and remote regions with this cross stitch pattern featuring a popular figure from the ancient and medieval world: the Headless Man. Known by many names and identified by having their faces on their chests, they were one of the monstrous human races featured in bestiaries and world maps for centuries. The (surprisingly sassy) fellow in this pattern is recreated in detail from a 13th century French manuscript that describes all manner of beasties and creepy crawlies that inhabited the medieval imagination. This is a wonderful pattern for cross stitchers who love art history, fantasy and mythological creatures, or who just want to stitch something a little unusual.
