Detailed Description
A horizontal rectangular page displays two distinct sections. The left two-thirds of the page contain two columns of black script on a light paper background. Thin red vertical lines separate the text columns and frame the entire text block. Between the text and the painted section, a vertical decorative element features a central circular motif with a reddish-brown center and a white border, flanked by stylized blue and red scroll-like designs. The right one-third of the page features a miniature painting set against a vibrant red background. In the upper-left of the painting, a central figure with a halo and a crown sits on a throne-like structure, adorned in gold and blue garments. Above this figure, a golden archway with intricate blue patterns frames the scene. In the upper-right quadrant of the painting, two figures in blue attire, holding weapons, stand on a blue and gold patterned border. The lower section of the painting depicts several figures, some mounted on horses, engaged in dynamic activity, alongside animals resembling deer or antelopes, all rendered in gold and blue against the red background. A blue and gold patterned border also defines the lower-left edge of the painted area. A very small line of black text is visible in the upper right corner of the red painted section.
