Pictorial detail from an illuminated manuscript page of C16th music, depicting a haloed, brown-haired, beardless male figure within a decorative letter C, against a blue background. He wears a red robe with green trim. His elbows are bent so that his forearms are in front of him, held perpendicular to his body. Toward the right side of the picture as the viewer sees it, his left hand rests on top of a gridiron, the symbol of his martyrdom. The letter C is contained within a square with a background of gold paint.
