Cleveland Museum of Art

Two adjacent, aged, beige-colored pages from an illuminated manuscript. The left page features a large, rectangular illustration with a red border and blue, green, and gold accents. Inside the rectangle are two smaller illustrations. The top illustration contains three figures; two are holding scrolls with text, and one is a woman. The bottom illustration depicts a scene with several figures around a lying figure. The right page has a similar red border and features a gold and red figure in a circular frame at the top. Below the figure are several horizontal lines of gold text on a brown background and several decorative gold designs on blue, green, and red backgrounds. The pages have darker spots and discoloration around the edges.
