Commentary


Poids léger. Peti module. Tetarteron. Deux globules dans chaque bras de la croix du nimbe crucigère du Christ au droit. Six globules décorant les Évangiles. Onze globules sur le loros de Nicéphore II. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente.
