This is a Coral Branch scroll for Ysabell Inghean Daibhidh, presented at Nottinghill Coill Baronial Birthday (23 Feb AS XLVII). It is based on the 8-9 c. Irish “Stowe Missal.” I tried to copy the insular minuscule hand as used in the missal, since there are variations found between scribes.
I mixed the ultramarine, terra verte, red ochre, and yellow ochre paints myself.
The text is the same size (3mm x-height), but because there is more text, the text block on this is about 5×7, much larger than in the Missal (about 3×4).
