Llangattock Hours
The Llangattock Hours is a illuminated prayer book made in Paris in the early 1400s for private devotional use by a lay patron. Its pages carry small framed scenes of sacred and everyday subjects, surrounded by dense gold and coloured vine borders with birds and flowers. The miniatures show clothed medieval figures in interiors, village streets, a castle on a hill, and a nativity under a thatched shed with a windmill beyond, offering designers rich patterned borders, jewel-toned palettes, and gold-leaf ornament to adapt.
