Three Cuttings from a Missal

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages turned to display a decorative initial letter. The initial letter "P" is composed of white and tan parchment with blue, red, and gold designs. The interior of the letter contains an illustration of two men in blue clothing standing on either side of a lectern; one holds a bird on his arm and the other holds a falcon. The man on the right stands on a patterned blue cloth; he wears a blue and red cloak over his blue clothing and holds a long staff in his left hand. The man on the left holds a blue falcon on his right arm; he wears a blue tunic and green pants. The background of the illustration features a gold color with decorative elements and illegible black text on white banners; a bird is flying across the top. The book rests on a black background with scattered white marks.
