This is a decorated initial "D" created by Claricia, an artist active in the 13th century. The "D" is rendered in a circular form, characteristic of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The interlace pattern within the "D" is typical of the Hiberno-Saxon style, with its intricate knotwork and stylized motifs. The use of red, green, and blue colors adds vibrancy to the design, while the smaller floral designs surrounding the "D" enhance the sense of organic form. This detail was likely intended to enhance the visual appeal of the religious text, enriching the reading experience for the viewer.
