From the Getty Museum record
A two-headed dragon and the vine scroll tendril that winds around it form an initial *B* that introduces the Mass celebrated on the feast day of Saint Mary Magdalene. The fantastic creature and swirling leaf forms were basic components in the Romanesque artist's visual vocabulary.
