Master of the Brussels Initials and Associates

The image shows an open book with a colorful illustration of the Entombment of Christ. The illustration is in a gold-framed rectangle and depicts Christ's body being placed in a white coffin by several people. The people are wearing robes and halos, and there are several women mourning around the coffin. The background of the illustration shows a blue sky and a castle. The page has a decorative border with blue, red, green, and gold swirling designs, flowers, and leaves. There are also several small birds and insects throughout the border. The text on the page is written in black calligraphy and appears to be in Latin. The page is yellowed and worn, with visible signs of aging. The book's pages are off-white and slightly translucent. The image is well-lit, with a gray background visible behind the book.
