The suspicious looking guy with a moustache and a hat surely looks like a character from the comic Inspector Gadget. However, in original, he is part of an impressive capital (forming a "P") of a choral book from around 1500 from a workshop of Petrus Alamire.

Detail of a choral book from the workshop of Petrus Alamire. The choral book BSB Mus. ms. 6 contains a credo and six complete masses. You see a capital (P) in which two male heads are visible.
Page from the choral book BSB Mus.ms. 6 with the highlighted initial. The choral book belongs to a small group of representative musical manuscripts donated to Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria (1508-1550). The choral book Mus. ms. 6 contains a credo and six complete masses.
