Meder dates this watermark 1497–1520. It is one of the early impressions on white paper, a clear one, with all the strokes and lines. Meder dates it according to the watermark (M. 266, b)
Other impressions in the Museum collections:
Inv. Г-2193 – the paper is in bad state: there is a large tear of the sheet, it is mounted on thick paper, not letting to see the watermark. The quality of the impression itself is good.
