Manuscript Leaf Showing an Illuminated Initial A and The Resurrection
The image shows a manuscript leaf with an illuminated initial A and depicts a biblical scene. The initial A is large, red, and blue with a white outline. The A has two sections: The top section shows Jesus Christ standing with a halo, wearing a white robe with a red sash around his waist. He holds his right hand up and a staff in his left hand. Two angels wearing white robes and haloes flank him on either side. The angels have their hands clasped in front of them. The bottom section shows three soldiers wearing armor. One soldier is standing and holds a sword. The soldier on the right sits on the ground and holds a spear. The third soldier lies asleep on the ground, resting on his shield. The background of the A is decorated with suns and scrollwork in red and blue. The background of the manuscript leaf is beige with a border of red, blue, and orange scrollwork and 3D rectangles at the bottom. The image depicts The Resurrection by an unknown artist.
