Leaf from a Book of Hours: The Nativity (recto)
The Nativity scene depicts Mary in a blue robe and gold halo kneeling beside a manger with baby Jesus. Joseph sits on a block to the right, wearing a pink robe over blue and holding a staff. A wicker fence and a distant landscape are behind them. The scene is framed by an ornate gold, blue, and red border with floral patterns and surrounded by a larger decorative border with intricate designs and text at the bottom.
