Manuscript Leaf with the Crucifixion in an Initial D, from a Book of Hours

Manuscript Leaf with the Crucifixion in an Initial D, from a Book of Hours. Culture: North French. Dimensions: Overall: 8 3/16 x 6 1/2 in. (20.8 x 16.5 cm)
Study mat size: 12 x 9 15/16 in. (30.5 x 25.3 cm). Date: ca. 1350.
The Crucifixion serves as a kind of bookmark at the beginning of the Hours of the Cross, which tell of Christ's Passion. This cycle of Latin prayers is to be said privately at seven different periods during the day. The winged creatures with human heads inject a note of bizarre humor to the sobering scene of Jesus' death.
