Brief Description
A manuscript page with two panels of seated figures and text, framed by red borders
Detailed Description
A horizontal manuscript page features a central block of text flanked by two identical illustrated panels. The page itself is a light, aged beige color. The central text block, also beige, contains multiple lines of black script and a prominent red circular mark positioned centrally within the text. Each rectangular illustrated panel is bordered by a thick red frame, which in turn encloses a thinner blue line. Within each panel, twelve figures are depicted in three horizontal rows of four. These figures are shown from the waist up, with light brown skin, dark hair, and are adorned with blue garments and gold jewelry. They sit facing directly forward, with their legs crossed and hands resting in their laps, each resting on a blue cushion or base. Above the rows of figures, a golden architectural structure with four domed or pointed elements is visible. This structure is set against a red background decorated with blue floral or decorative motifs. A horizontal gold band separates the figures from this upper architectural element. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the two illustrated panels mirroring each other. Faint handwritten numbers and marks are visible on the right edge of the page, outside the main artwork.
