Christ in the act of crowning the Virgin - Etched by R Girling

The Cover of a Breviary of the XIIth century It is of silver with remarkably large Crystals in the border of which about one third has been stripped off. The centre represented in the plate exhibits in bold relief and rudely executed Christ in the act of crowning the Virgin. At the corners are the emblems of the Evangelists and beneath is the bust of a Monk who may fairly be presumed to have been the Copyist of the volume: HAINRICVS SACRISTANVS. Etched by R Girling
