Historiated Initial (O) Excised from an Antiphonary: The Donor, Gorus Fucci, Kneels before Christ

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man kneeling before another figure. The kneeling man wears a blue robe and cap, and a rosary hangs from his waist. He has his hands clasped over his chest. The figure he kneels before has brown hair and a halo, and wears a green tunic under an orange robe. The figure's right hand is raised, and his left hand extends toward the kneeling man. The scene is set within an ornate, rounded rectangle with a blue background, green leaves, and intricate orange and green designs. A gold border surrounds the scene, with a blue outer border. The image includes a line of white text at the bottom.
