metadata.value: The article examines the pigments used in the design of the privilege of King Juan II of Castile
  and Leon to his favorite Alvaro de Luna for a third part of the city of Arevalo. The charter
  comes from the collection of Academician Nikolai Petrovich Likhachev (1862–1936), held
  in the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The document
  belongs to the most solemn type in the Royal Chancellery of Castile; its formula was extremely
  stable, while its exterior design was dynamic. The design consists of three parts: the initial,
  the rueda, and the border. The study of pigments was carried out by optical microscopy,
  multispectral imaging and X-ray fluorescence analysis. It was found that, contrary to the
  prevailing opinion in the literature, the pigments were placed on the parchment without any
  ground or pre-drawing. The analysis also revealed that both mineral and organic pigments
  were used. Different pigments were used in different elements of the decoration of the charter.
  The rueda and initial formed one group, the border — the other. In the first group, red was
  obtained with the use of pure cinnabar or a mixture of it and red lead. Blue and pink were
  formed by organic dyes in combination with lead white. The traditional Western European
  azurite and lapis lazuli were not used. Green was most likely a mixture of orpiment and indigo.
  This combination was not typical of Western European illuminations of the Late Middle Ages.
  Copper pigments were more common during this period. Black pigment is represented by
  soot, white by white lead. Green, on the other hand, is represented by copper pigments in
  the border, while blue and pink contain no lead. The difference in pigments set may indicate
  two different stages of the creation of the charter, different in time and place. A study also
  confirmed the use of natural gold, which is consistent with the high status of the recipient of
  the privilege, Alvaro de Luna, who played an important role in the Castilian court.
