Description
  • Extent:
    197 ff. Leaf height: 355 mm, width: 240 mm.
    Binding:

    The front cover is plated with gilt metal. It is thus arranged. The border is composed of six oblong plates of enamel (at the corners and in the middle of the sides) bearing decorative designs: the intervals between these are occupied by six longer strips of filagree work, each of which is set with four stones. The central plate of gilt metal has an incised design of foliage partially surrounding a crucifix. The figure on the cross is in relief, crowned, with loin-cloth, and is fastened by four nails. The cross is set with small turquoises. The head (bearded) inclines to L. The title of the cross bears the letters IHS: above it is the Divine Hand. The interior angles of the cross are filled in, so that there is a disk at the intersection. The field or body of the cross is enamelled. At each extremity are two stones; two more are on the right of the lower part of the cross, and one is opposite to them on the left. Nail holes (seven in number) are in various parts of the field. At the angles of the panel are four disks of enamelled metal, bearing decorative designs. The second cover is of wood, covered with green-brown velvet.

    First quarter of the 13th century.
