Illustrated manuscript page showing black script and a seated figure on a golden chariot
Detailed Description
The image displays a horizontal manuscript page, light beige in color with a visible fibrous texture. The page is divided into two main sections: a larger text block on the left and a smaller, framed illustration on the right. The left section features multiple lines of black script with occasional red markings. Two prominent red circular dots are present, one near the top left and another in the middle left of this section. The right section is a rectangular panel bordered by a thick red line, containing an illustration set against a solid red background. Within this panel, a dark-skinned figure, possibly blue or black, is depicted seated on an elaborate golden structure, which includes a large spoked wheel below, suggesting a chariot. The figure wears a tall, pointed golden crown, intricate golden jewelry, and a patterned golden garment. Its right hand is raised with the palm facing forward, while its left hand rests on its lap. A blue halo encircles the figure's head. To the left of the figure, a tall, ornate blue and gold structure is visible. Above the figure, a blue and gold canopy or archway completes the setting. To the right of the illustrated panel, a narrow column of black text with red markings is present, along with another red circular dot below it. At the bottom right corner of the page, a black symbol is visible.
