From the museum record

This leaf came from a book of hours, a devotional book popular in the Middle Ages. They contained prayers that a devoted individual would use throughout the day. It has been estimated that 1 in 15 households owned a book of hours, although this luxurious example could only have belonged to an aristocratic household.

Lupin’s visual index

a vibrant illuminated manuscript depicts the annunciation with an ornate, detailed border featuring biblical figures and decorative elements.
