Description: This is a beautiful, exquisitely illuminated page from an old Llamedese manuscript, cut from the book and placed in a protective frame so it can be proudly displayed on a wall instead of mouldering in some dusty book in some remote abbey somewhere, far from the eyes of art critics, dinner party guests, and suchlike cognoscenti. The text block itself is quite small, and done in an almost unreadably ornate looping black runic script, but the rest of the page is taken up by a huge curving initial letter "Q" and a fantastically coiled and intertwined scaffold of vines. A tonsured monk leans from the loop of the "Q", hand upraised as if preaching from the book he carries, and a ragtag assortment of animals and birds peep from the vine trellis as if hanging on his every word. Despite its obvious age, the colours are amazingly rich and glowing, seeming to lift the figures off the parchment.
Appraise: The framed page from an illuminated manuscript is about three inches long and about three inches wide. It is made of some unidentifiable material and could be placed as furniture.
Weight: about a pound
