An antique, open book is displayed horizontally within a clear glass exhibition case in an unspecified indoor location in Dolgoprudny, Russia
An antique, open book is displayed horizontally within a clear glass exhibition case in an unspecified indoor location in Dolgoprudny, Russia. The book's left page is blank, aged, and discolored, exhibiting yellowing and slight damage. The right page features an elaborate, intricate black-and-white engraving. This engraving is centered on a double-headed eagle with a crown, holding a scepter and orb, with a shield depicting a mounted figure on its chest. The central motif is surrounded by detailed vignettes, including religious scenes like Adam and Eve, a baptism, and a crucifixion, along with Cyrillic text and a stylized map, likely of Moscow. The book shows significant age, with thick, worn pages and a robust, dark binding. Reflections of overhead lighting and a person's lower legs and feet are visible on the glass surface of the display case. Below the book, a partially visible red-bordered informational label provides context in Russian, mentioning "1663 года" (1663 year), "Москвы и герб" (Moscow and coat of arms), and an association with "Московского государственного университета имени М.В. Ломоносова" (Lomonosov Moscow State University). A red label with the number "2" is affixed to the right side of this information panel. The immediate background behind the display is dark and indistinct.
