Notes | Wooden boards covered on the outside with brown leather, and over that with dark red silk, with 4 strips of parchment from a 13th century manuscript inside the front and back covers. Silver corner-guards and silver clasps on red velvet bands. A large silver-gilt medallion showing a bearded and moustached head in profile wearing a crown or helmet (similar to heads of the seals of Louis and Lothar), perhaps of the 9th century, has been attached to the upper outside cover; this is enclosed in a framework of silver-gilt with a flat conventional leaf-pattern, probably of a later date (?10th or 11th century). The outside lower cover has been slightly hollowed for a 12th-century ivory figure of King David, seated, with a harp. This figure has been removed and is now stored separately. | |||
