Physical Facet

Floriated borders on left and bottom margins of the recto and verso. Flowers of red, blue and gold (not leaf) connected by a green stem or stalk with intermittent green leaves. At the four corners of every flower, there are gold painted thistle-like balls faintly coming off the stalk. This type of decoration is similar to the style of Francesco d'Antonio del Chierico.
