Initial D: Christ Enthroned; Psalter, after 1205. Additional Info:Within an initial D, Christ, flanked by angels, sits on a throne with a small figure, bent over in submission, under each foot. The illuminator showed Christ's garments falling in natural, asymmetrical folds that give the sense of a three-dimensional body beneath. This volumetric presence of Christ is an important component in conveying his utter dominance of the enemies at his feet--the topic of the first sentence of Psalm 109: "I will make a footstool of your enemies."
