Manuscript Front Cover

This manuscript is bound in vellum—a high-quality parchment made from animal skin—and is decorated with intricate red block-printed designs. Two wide bands of floral and vine-like patterns stretch across the cover, topped by a large, fan-shaped decorative element. The binding shows significant signs of age, including staining and heavy wear, particularly along the spine.
