Marston MS 89A     France, s. XII
Drawings

A single parchment folio (damaged) removed from Marston MS 89 where it was
used as a front pastedown.  The one side has fine drawings of a king and
queen (with falcon) in elaborate robes.  Beside them is a foot soldier in
armor; below a warrior on horseback, in armor, pursued by an archer,
without armor.  Above is a centaur (Chiron?) shooting an arrow at a flying
bird, a second bird on the ground.  On the other side (much affected by
paste) three warriors storm a tower.  See also catalogue entry for Marston
MS 89.
