Parchment folio from a Gospel book written and illuminated c. 1536 in the Suynik' province of Armenia for Esayi the 'great vardapet' (abbot). On the recto, Jesus is baptised by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. A dove descends from above as two angels watch. Fish are visible beneath the waves of the river. On the verso, May and Joseph, who stand on the left, present the infant Jesus to Simeon in the Temple, Anna the prophetess stands behind him. The paintings were mounted in a paper frame in the mid-twentieth century.
