All the small leaves and the initials have glittering gold leaf pasted on. A very fine leaf from a Book of Hours, carried with her on her daily outings, by a prosperous lady in Flanders, in the 15th century. It must have been a very small booklet, so it could be carried in a bag or, wrapped in a piece of cloth, in her hand. Around the D we find gold leaf and in the margins is pen work with flowers and leaves. There are 2 initials of two lines and 1 of one line in gold, red and blue.
Condition is good.
Within the D are tulip-like flowers in orange and yellow with green and blue leaves. On the back we see the 4 staves of the music and from the distance between the lines we may assume that the leaf must have been quite large.
