Pb3O4

Evidence

"results of RAMAN spectr combined with those of XRF (mapping and spot analysis) confirm that the red pigment used in this manuscript is “red lead” known as minium (Pb3O4 sometimes written as 2PbO · PbO2)."

Remarks

In Manuscript 1, the red pigment was definitively identified as red lead. Elemental mapping showed lead (Pb) corresponding to the red ink areas (p. 3). Small amounts of other elements detected in the red ink areas were attributed to contamination or the paper substrate (p. 4).
