Up for auction is an attractive illuminated medieval manuscript vellum Book of Hours leaf in Latin, France, circa 1460. There is one large initial on a background of burnished gold. The panel borders on the recto contain acanthus, flowers, and gold bezants. There is also a small green bird (looks like a type of parrot) miniature tucked within the bottom panel. Other than some slight yellowing, minor rubbing of some of the gold, and evidence of mounting at the top of the verso, this... pretty leaf is in good condition. It measures approx. 4 3/4 x 3 1/4 inches.
