Detailed Description
A horizontal rectangular manuscript page is divided into two main sections. The left two-thirds of the page are filled with black script arranged in multiple lines. The text is written on a light tan background. Thin red vertical lines separate columns of text, and smaller red marks are visible within the script, possibly indicating punctuation or emphasis. A circular red mark is also present in the middle of the text section. The right third of the page features a colorful illustration. Two male figures are seated on a red platform or throne against a predominantly red background. The figure on the left is larger, with light brown skin, a a dark beard, and a dark mustache. He wears a golden crown, a yellow top, and patterned blue and white lower garments. He holds a long, thin, light-colored object, possibly a sword or staff, in his right hand, resting it on his shoulder. The smaller figure on the right has light brown skin and dark hair. He wears a yellow top and patterned white and red lower garments. His hands are raised in front of him, possibly in a gesture of offering or respect. The red background behind the figures includes faint decorative patterns in lighter colors. The overall palette includes yellow, red, blue, white, and black.
