Detailed Description
A vertical manuscript page features a block of text at the top, occupying approximately the upper third, above a painted illustration. The text is written in multiple lines of black script with some words highlighted in red, and the numbers "386 go" are written in blue ink near the top center. Below the text, the illustration depicts a scene divided vertically into an outdoor area on the left and a building on the right. The outdoor area has a greenish-yellow ground and a sky with dark blue and gray clouds. Five figures are shown in various poses. From left to right, one figure in a red tunic and white turban plays a drum. Next to him, a figure in a blue tunic and orange turban holds small cymbals. In the center, a dark-skinned figure with yellow pants, a green sash, and an elaborate blue and gold headpiece dances with arms raised. To his right, another figure in orange pants, a white tunic, and a white turban also dances with raised arms. A fifth figure, partially obscured on the far right of this group, wears a red tunic and white turban and holds a stick. On the right, a multi-story building with a purple upper level and a brown lower level features a decorative patterned border between the two levels. On the upper floor, two figures are visible in separate window frames; the figure on the left wears a white garment, and the figure on the right wears an orange garment. On the lower floor, a figure with a white turban, yellow lower garment, and green shawl stands in a doorway, looking towards the left. The overall color palette includes vibrant reds, blues, yellows, oranges, and greens against earth tones.
