Bifolium Excised from a Carolingian Gradual

Two pages from a bifolium, brown and worn, with frayed edges and darker brown and black spots. The pages have a central crease, with a vertical line down the middle where they are joined. The text is in gold and blue; gold on the left and gold and blue on the right. The font is Latin, uncial script. The pages have a parchment-like texture, with darker brown border along the edges. The image shows a Carolingian Gradual.
