800 yo drawing made by a seven-year-old boy named Onfim who lived in Novgorod. Tags:Europe 25 comments What is the provenance of the name Onfim? Still has a better handwriting and ability to draw than me… after 800 years of buried in a clay, you can still tell it’s birch bark Those are amazing! I like this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onfim#/media/File%3AОнфим_(200).gif Well, it seems that you have kids sketches older than USA! 😁 The amount of fingers raises so many questions… Funnily enough, the writing says “to collect debts from Domir” with lots of typos. Rich kids of Novgorod were taught how to write business papers. Seems kids don’t change These things look like pitchforks На Домитрѣ возѧти доложзикѣ – Взыскать с Дмитра должки – Collect debts from Dmitry. 800 years and kids keep drawing hands bad Thanks for sharing! It’s so weird that me a Macedonian can read this and even understand the writings 😅 Damn. My 7 year old draws bodys like that Reluctantly stuck on a fridge 800 years ago. Crazy a 7yo was literate enough to write his name 800 years ago. Pfft I could totally draw better than that. Get rekt noob. Are those drawings in the museum? I wish i could see them in real life. That’s freaking amazing, it looks exactly like kid drawings today They had a lot of fingers back then. Onfim has better drawing skills than me i’m a huge fan of Onfim, that kid had it going on The text says: “I have more fingers than my little sister, haha!” Imagine being a kid in the 13th century and your bored doodle becomes a museum piece 800 years later. This is wholesome. Sometimes we forget that children existed back then lol I will never get over my astonishment, awe, and joy over the way that over the centuries we really are just all the same.
