Mandrake plant
Mandrake plant. Historical artwork of the leaves (green) and root (orange) of a mandrake plant (Mandragora officinarum). A dog and chain is being used to pull the plant from the ground. The plant is depicted in human form because the branching of the root resembles a human figure. It is native to Europe. The root was used in herbal medicine,but according to folklore the plant emitted a piercing shriek when uprooted,killing anyone who heard it. For this reason,dogs and chains were used to harvest the plant. This is a 15th century French artwork from the Arsenal Library,Paris,France
