Text, folio 429 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a worn, aged book cover with a white or off-white paper cover. The cover is rectangular and appears to be made of a thin, possibly vellum or parchment material. The cover has a purple stamp in the center that reads "PARIS DOUANE DE" around the edges and "QUAI D'ORLEANS" in the middle. The cover is worn and torn in several places, with visible signs of aging and damage, including dark brown spots and tears along the edges. The cover is lying on a dark gray surface, which provides a neutral background for the image. The book's title, "Text, folio 429 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries," and artist are not visually present but provided in the context.
