This page shows a bright, flat-colored scene tucked into a corner. A winged figure in blue and gold sits on a rock, holding a book. Below, three women in long robes stand near an open tomb, their hands folded. The background is packed with gold stars and swirling red-orange vines. The text next to the image is in Latin, with musical notes above each line. The page looks old, with some faded ink and small black notes scattered across the music. Look up tempera to see how artists made colors stick so well back then.
