Historiated Initial (E) Excised from an Antiphonary: Risen Christ in the Tomb

The image depicts the Risen Christ standing in a tomb. Christ has shoulder-length brown hair, a halo, and wears a white robe. He stands with his right hand holding a white banner with a red cross and his left hand outstretched in a gesture. A gold radiant sunburst effect emanates from behind his head. He stands on a gray stone slab within a raised platform. The scene is framed by an oval red border decorated with white designs. The border is on top of a gold square background with wavy edges. In the background behind Christ are green triangular shapes resembling mountains. A red barrier or fence is behind the mountains. At the top left is a green curved line on a white-blue shape and two white circles with black dots and yellow centers. The background of the image is off-white.
