A rectangular page with black script on the left and three illustrated panels on the right
Detailed Description
A horizontal rectangular page, primarily light beige, is divided into two main sections. The left two-thirds of the page are filled with numerous lines of black script, with certain words highlighted in red. Within this script area, there are two circular decorative elements: one on the far left edge and another in the middle of the script block. Both circles are outlined in red and blue, with a central gold circle. The right third of the page is a vertical panel with a blue background, framed by a red border. This panel contains three horizontal registers of illustrations. The top register depicts three seated figures, possibly human or divine, with gold-colored bodies, elaborate headwear, and red and blue accents, against the blue background. The central figure is slightly larger. The middle register shows a dynamic scene with multiple smaller figures, some appearing to be on horseback or in chariots, engaged in what could be a procession or battle. These figures are also rendered in gold with red and blue details. The bottom register features a large, circular motif on the right, with intricate patterns, and a seated figure within its center. To its left are smaller gold figures. The far right edge of the entire page has a decorative blue scrollwork border with red accents, and a similar border is present on the far left edge of the script section. Vertical lines of script are also visible on the far right edge of the blue illustrated panel.
