Book Decoration and Musical Notation
From McGill's long description: "The fragment contains four initials set on the staves, two on each side. They are in alternating blue and red inks. Tey are bound by curvilinear shapes: curlicues, round patterns, S-curves and loops. The patterns are in red (initials S, U) around blue initials, and in burnished gold and brown ink around red initials (H, H)."
Square notation in watery black ink on a four-line red staff; upward custodes; consistent "c" shape in both clef forms; pale lines of division, touched with yellow where they indicate the incipit.
