The initial C on this cutting encloses the full-length, standing figure of St Lawrence wearing a white dalmatic shaded in blue and lined with green, with amice and apparels of gold with red brocade. It appeared on the verso of a page from a gradual containing the sanctorale (propers of the saints).
