Manuscript Pigments
What you seeSix pigments, each shown as its raw material beside an open mussel shell holding the ground colour: lapis lazuli flecked with gold pyrite, banded green malachite, red vermilion, yellow orpiment, flakes of lead white, and a stack of gold leaf beside a shell of gold.
What it meansPersian and Ottoman painters and illuminators bound their pigments with gum and often kept them in shells. Lapis lazuli gave the most prized blue, gold was ground with gum into shell gold, and orpiment and vermilion gave bright yellow and red, though both are toxic.
Where it worksA jewel-toned plate for a studio, a study or a reading room.
