Two columns of Latin text fill this page taken from a bible manuscript. A painting in a gold rectangular frame is located in the lower right column. An angel descends from a blue semicircular disc in the upper right corner of the painting and grasps a larger figure by the hair with both hands. This second figure holds a jug in his left hand and a plate with bread in his right. A third figure, dressed in a white robe, reaches up toward this larger figure from an enclosure below. He appears against a black background and four gray animal heads overlap his torso.

Anonymous Gift in memory of Mrs. John Alexander

It consists of three parts : a cup stand with perforated base, a gentle curved wing and everted foot. The edges of the wing and the cup stand are decorated with fret designs.<br /> &nbsp; <p>This is a round cup stand, a typical form of 12th century Goryeo celadon. The tray of the stand is incised with three chrysanthemum patterns, and encircling the rim is a fret pattern. The entirely glazed foot retains refractory spur marks. This is a defected product, the rim and foot of which have become warped during firing. The glaze is partially oxidized, giving the saucer a brown hue, but it was produced as a high-grade object.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art </em>(2014) p.126]</p>

<p>Displaying a good sense of overall balance, the bowl&rsquo;s glaze is also quite clear and green. It was fired after the entire foot was glazed and placed on three quartzite supports. There are marks of glaze running on both the inside and outside of the bowl, leaving an uneven surface. Bowls fired on quartzite spurs such as this one were mostly high-quality items. Apart from damage in two parts of the mouth, this piece is preserved in near-perfect condition.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art</em> (2014) p.98]</p> It has a slightly outward flared rim and tapers abruptly to a narrow base. It has no underglaze decoration. There are three spur marks in eye. The glaze is greenish blue in color, leaning toward green, and the base clay contains some impurities.
