Early Christian and Medieval Talismans
Crosses, rings, inscribed bands and small pendants share a numbered page. A dove and a lamb emblem add recognisable figures to the geometric and lettered forms. William Thomas Pavitt signs the plate captioned Early Christian and Medieval Talismans. Clear outlines and open spaces allow each object’s shape to remain distinct within the book’s comparative arrangement.
