European Galleries

These privately commissioned books paired prayers to be recited at different times of day with images, usually depicting scenes from the life of Jesus or Mary. This example could have been hung from a belt by a chain attached to a decorative cover. Thin strips of curled silver form the filigree panels. The densely ornamented bands feature animals and foliage in shining relief, contrasted with the incised ground filled with niello, a dark inlay of silver, lead, copper, and sulfur.
