Bible Cover with Metal Crucifix and Enamels

Peter Lombard on the Psalms. Ornate crucifix cast with metal and enamels for the cover of a Bible.

Above, another example of a very rare Bible cover, both front and
back, encrusted with semi-precious gems and precious metals.


"Book collectors Brian and Sally Oxley tell the story of how the King James Bible came to be.
 Their bibles are centuries old and will be on display at the CrossRoads Community Church
 in Naples this Sunday."
