    "description": "This non-original binding from Walters manuscript W.618 is largely attributable to the 10th century AH/AD 16th, with later additions. The binding is composed of brown leather (incorrectly bound with the flap on the wrong side and folded back on itself), and has a central lobed oval and pendants with gold-brushed scroll and floral design. The binding has a blue outer margin.",
