England: 'The Adoration of the Magi', from the Ranworth Antiphoner, St. Helen's Church, Ranworth, Norfolk, c. 1460-1480 CE

The Magi, in royal or aristocratic dress, come to adore Christ child and to bring gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh.

From the Ranworth Antiphonal of c.1460-1480 - its professional but provincial decoration suggest it was made in the Norwich area for use in the Norwich diocese (at Ranworth church, Norfolk, by 1505).
