Initial ""I"" (In principio)
The shaft of this letter "I" is filled with delicately rendered palmettes. Green vine-scrolls ascend and weave in and out of the letterform, as if climbing a trellis. The letterform is topped by a frontal green animal face and two addorsed dragons, portrayed in profile.
