They don't have any details on line yet. I wonder if they would allow us to use the photo if we asked. After all it would increase interest in their auction.

I spotted in Bonham's latest auction catalogue that a 15th century Book
of Hours was up for sale; a small highly illuminated book on vellum. The
page from it shown in this catalogue shows the Virgin Mary seated behind
some horizontal threads, stretched between two upright posts (each
guarded by an angel!). Her hands are on these threads but there is no
suggestion of tablets on this "warp". However the pose is very
reminiscent of those few representations from that time which do show
tablet weaving.
The book is up for sale in November when it will probably disappear into
a museum or private collection. I have scanned the relevant part. I
could send it as an email jpeg to those interested. Or maybe when Janis
has successfully moved into new house it could go on the Weavers Hand
site. O but that would involve copyright, I guess.
What to do?
