The most precious thing
A medieval manuscript illumination divided into three vertical panels, depicting three figures with halos in a Byzantine iconographic style. The left panel shows a figure in a dark hooded robe holding a gold sphere against a blue starry background. The center panel features a seated figure with a beard, wearing an ornate red and blue tunic with a golden halo, gesturing with one hand against an architectural and starry backdrop with golden scrollwork. The right panel displays a bearded man in a brown cloak over blue garments, gesturing with one hand near a sunburst and a small basket. Rich use of gold leaf, deep blues, and reds throughout the composition, bordered by a decorative gold and parchment frame.
