Fine Cyrillic forms over an oval underline

An opening Cyrillic initial and a longer surname form a fine connected band. Larger looped strokes interrupt the middle, above a long oval underline that returns beneath the later name. Compare that shallow lower enclosure with the taller letter loops: the two kinds of curves give the specimen breadth and localized vertical emphasis.

Opening, letter body and finish

The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.03×, while the whole image is 3.29 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes below the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.

Loops and the lower flourish

The sample contains 7 enclosed loops and 5 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 65% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
