A Grand Miniature! A 6th Century Illumination of the Ascenscion
Illuminations in manuscripts are called miniatures. This is not due to their size, but because the pigment lead oxide - red lead, minium in Latin - was used to lay down the first lines. Because many of these were of a small size it came to mean small-scale art too, and later to denote any object of a small size.
