Visual Summary

Brief Description

Two rectangular wooden book covers, one side painted with seated figures, the other dark

Detailed Description

The image displays two long, rectangular wooden book covers. For each cover, its painted side is shown facing up, with its unpainted reverse side immediately below it. The top book cover and its reverse are followed by the second book cover and its reverse, arranged similarly. Each painted side is a narrow, horizontal panel divided into six distinct, rectangular compartments. Each compartment features a stylized, seated figure against a background of alternating red and black. The figures are depicted with various skin tones, including gold and light green, and wear elaborate headdresses and garments. Many figures have multiple arms, holding various objects, and some are seated on thrones or animals. Small, dark script is visible along the top edge of some compartments. The unpainted reverse sides are dark, appearing almost black, with a textured, slightly uneven surface. They show areas of reddish-brown discoloration.
