Evidence
"In same manuscript in folios 63, 64, and 92 a colour combining azurite with malachite is used for green."
Remarks
The XRF comparison showed that the copper peak for the mixture (azurite + malachite) was much more intense than that of the copper-based green used alone for the horse barding on folio 64 (p. 317).
