Evidence
"Die obere Nische in der Seitenwand des Thrones war ursprünglich mit Mennige ausgeführt und erscheint daher dunkler"
Remarks
The pigment was used for text borders and architectural details. In IR-reflectography at 1800 nm, it appears darker compared to visible light because it was later overpainted with brown ochre. (p. 74)
