Psalter
A Psalter is a prayer book of psalms, likely made in England or northern France in the thirteenth or fourteenth century by unknown illuminators, for private devotion. Its pictures are gold-ground miniatures and historiated initials in blue, red and burnished gold, showing biblical scenes such as the Adoration of the Magi, the Annunciation to the shepherds, and figures in pointed architectural frames, offering designers medieval colour pairings and decorative border ornament.
