Anima Magica Abscondita

[The page is covered entirely in a traditional hand-marbled pattern. This specific style, often called a "nonpareil" or combed pattern, features intricate, repeating scalloped shapes. The color palette consists of deep madder red, indigo blue, black, ochre orange, and cream. These patterns were created by floating pigments on a bath of thickened water (usually with carrageenan moss) and "combing" the colors with a tool before laying the paper onto the surface to lift the design.]
