Script Commentary |
Script is an ungainly, inexpert, imitative Irish majuscule with d, N, R and r, ꞅ; the upper parts of a as of the bow of d and q are concave; the cross-stroke of N is strikingly high-waisted; X is very curious with its final stroke not crossing the first but acting as its support. |
