Book Decoration and Musical Notation
From McGill's long description: "One three-line initial (M) on verso, on second column, in light-brown and white. Between the stems it encloses small acanthus leaves, in blue, which stem from two gold leaf disks. The initial rests on square ultramarine ground; from the end of its between columns margin side stem extend, into the margin, small size acanthus leaves in light-blue, red, light-brown and dark-yellow. The ultramarine ground contains in the corners white, thin curlicues, is surrounded by a narrow faded gold border and on top of its upper left corner rests a gold leaf disk. Also, alternating between blue and red ink, appear two-line initials, surrounded by alternating red and blue curlicues, cusps, S-shaped patterns and bars."
