Psalm: 119
Iconography: Two men point their bows and arrows at the psalmist: The sharp arrows of the mighty. The psalmist is calling out: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause. He points to the caption and the archers. Christ looks at the caption.
Art: The standing archer was drawn with curly hair and jagged drapery on his skirt. Light scoring for a central column is visible, particularly at the bottom
Thread stitch: yes, with red silk attached
Historical Relevance:
Quire: 19
