This calligraphic work displays the first three words of a hymn to the Blessed Virgin Mary written by St. Hildegard of Bingen:
Tu pupilla castitatis;
Tu materia sanctitatis
Que Deo placuit.
Hail, high-born, glorious, intact virgin!
Thou art the pupil of chastity;
Thou art the matter of holiness
Who is pleasant to God.
The letters are filled with tiny plants, spiders, and sea shells.
