Historiated Initial (H) Excised from an Antiphonary: SS. Paul the Hermit and Anthony
The image depicts a medieval-style illustration of two men, likely saints, standing side by side. The men have long gray beards and hair, and wear white robes with red shirts underneath. Their feet are bare. They stand on a red floor and have their hands raised. The background is a blue archway with white stars and red and white decorative elements. The archway has a white border with red, green, and blue accents. The overall design suggests a histiated initial from an antiphonary, a liturgical book used in Christian worship. The two men are Saint Paul the Hermit and Saint Anthony.
