Silver Gospels, Binding, Walters Manuscript W.542, Upper board outside<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown goatskin over wooden boards, with a flap tooled in blind with small tools. The spine is decorated with a succession of vertical incisions and rises at the head and tail. The headbands are embroidered in red, black, and tan. The boards are lined with coarse blue linen. Each cover is overlaid with a plaque of silver worked in repouss\u00e9 and finished by chiselling. The central panel of the upper cover depicts the Presentation in the Temple, and on the lower cover, the Ascension of Christ. Each scene is framed with a border of cherub heads. This silver binding, which is attributable to the seventeenth or early eighteenth century, was likely produced in Kayseri (Turkey).<\/p>\n
