This particular parchment is a handwritten text in Latin.
The parchment probably dates from around 1500.
The sheet is written on both sides. The front side is darker than the back side. This is because parchment is made from pigskin, which is a different color on the inside than the outside.
A so-called elephant folio describes an oversized sheet.
The parchment is in age-related condition. It has a small tear and is creased on one edge and fixed with glue at the top. Photos are part of the condition description.
It is suitable as a great wall decoration!
