Detailed Description
The image presents a horizontal manuscript page, divided into three distinct vertical sections. The left section features gold script on a red background, bordered by intricate blue and red floral and scrollwork designs. A small gold disc is embedded within the left border. The text reads: "परागधीर्माणामेवमायुरुक्तं पासेवेवनेमंगलेसमितिमयच्छुद मिणपामिताएंगिबुद्धाउत्तंकद मीहयसिमिसयदमसिमिसिद्धयए उममरसागरविमासयवरायए रत्तएणसादेवांदामहाणितेस त्तत्तमिणपामिसिद्धाहिबुद्धिम". The central section is a narrow, light-colored vertical strip, containing a prominent gold circle at its center, flanked by symmetrical blue decorative motifs. The right section is a vibrant illustration set against a red background, similarly framed by blue and red decorative borders. This illustrated section is further subdivided horizontally. The upper portion depicts a procession of animals, including two white elephants, a white horse, and a spotted leopard, all moving towards the right. Above these animals, a multi-armed, seated figure is visible. The lower portion of the illustration shows a dark-skinned figure reclining on a patterned couch. The figure wears a blue and green garment with gold accents and is adorned with elaborate gold jewelry, including large circular earrings and a crown. Their head rests on a pillow to the left, and their body is angled towards the right. Surrounding the reclining figure are various objects, such as a blue and white circular emblem, a golden vessel, and other small, golden items. The couch features a white and red patterned mattress and golden, ornate legs. The script in the middle text panel, also gold on red, reads: "रालकक्षा समदाक्षत गयवसह जयंकंप जयसिह मिणपासद पंदियापि".
