- What you see
* You may quote the catalogue description (but make sure you use " " and a reference -- at the very least a link).

- How this is relevant to your assignment:
Suppose your exhibit is about text technologies. You can talk about this image incorporating text production into the text itself.
You can talk about the figure of the scribe.
You can talk about the scribe holding a quill and a scroll/leaf of parchment.
You can talk about the colours used in the image, about the marvellous creatures around the bottom.
You can say this is a digital object that represents only part of the page (cropped image of the historiated initial). You can say it also shows you a hint of the 3D physical manuscript by incorporating the gutter.

For the quiz, you can write:  "For A2, I would here say how this image is relevant to my exhibit as evidence for my thesis."
