Leaf Excised from a Book of Hours: Decorated Initial H

Masters of the Zwolle Bible

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an illuminated manuscript page. The page is filled with text in black ink, with some red highlights. The text is written in a Gothic script and is arranged in paragraphs. The page has a decorative border around the edges, featuring blue, red, green, and gold floral patterns. The border includes leaves, flowers, and vines. In the top-left corner, a large gold and blue initial letter "H" is decorated with a green and red plant. The background of the page is off-white, with some yellowing and aging visible. The overall design and style suggest that the manuscript is from the medieval period. The image does not show a picture, but rather an ornately illustrated text page.
