No specific motifs in mind, but could I request some stuff from Bohemia? 🥺

sure! one of the many things i enjoy in the gorgeous and super richly illuminated 'wenzelsbibel', made in prague, is this recurring motif of people entangled/trapped (?) in letters:

'wenzelsbibel'/'wenceslas bible', prague (bohemia), c. 1390

source: Vienna, Österr. Nationalbibl., Cod. 2759, fol. 21r, 29r, 45v

Reenactment of Šárka tied to a tree.

The story of Šárka (a woman's name) is a myth dealing with events in the "Maidens' War" in seventh-century Bohemia. It first appeared in the twelfth-century Chronica Boëmorum of Cosmas of Prague, and later in the fourteenth-century Dalimil's Chronicle. Following the death of Libuše, Vlasta leads a band of Amazons against the male forces of Libuše's widower, Přemysl. Šárka, Vlasta's lieutenant, entraps a band of armed men led by Ctirad by tying herself to a tree and claiming that the rebel maidens tied her there and put a horn and a jug of mead out of reach to mock her. Ctirad believes her story and unties her from the tree, whereupon she pours the mead for the men as a celebratory thank-you gift. Little do the men know that Šárka and the maidens have put a sleeping potion into the mead. When all the men have fallen asleep, Šárka blows the horn as a signal for the rebel maidens to come out of their hiding places and join her in slaughtering the men. She is captured and defeated along with the rest of the army soon afterward (From Wikipedia).
