This is a single leaf, pen-and-ink drawing on vellum, dating from 10th century Germany. In the center of the leaf a man with halo is depicted dressed in an antique robe and bare-foot. He holds a preciously adorned book in his left hand, while raising his right hand in a gesture of benediction. The characteristic style of the figure suggests that this is a representation of Christ, who quite often is rendered as a young man in Carolingian and Ottonian art, but likewise of a depiction of an evangelist. There is also an historiated border. The item is considered to be an artist's pattern sheet.

The illumination consists of four full-page miniatures illustrating the Annunciation, the Last Judgement, the Ascension, and the Burial of Christ. A fifth illumination of Pentecost may have been present at one time.
