Leaf from a Psalter and Prayerbook: Putto Picking Strawberries (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed parchment page with black text in a medieval script. The page is bordered by colorful illustrations of flowers, leaves, and a bird. In the bottom center, a cherub or putto in a yellow robe picks strawberries. The flowers include red, blue, purple, and green varieties. The leaves are green, and a small bird perches on a stem on the left side. The text is organized in paragraphs with decorative initial letters in red, blue, and gold. The page has a thin black border around the edges. The illustrations and text are intricate and ornate, suggesting a 15th-century manuscript.
