Leggings Illuminated Manuscript

Breathtakingly gorgeous leggings adorned a page from one of the most famous and possibly the best surviving examples of French Gothic manuscript illumination. It is a book of hours: a collection of prayers to be said at the canonical hours. It was created between c. 1412 and 1416 for the extravagant royal bibliophile and patron John, Duke of Berry, by the Limbourg brothers. This page is from the Hours of the Virgin.
