A vertically oriented ink and tempera painting on parchment displays a choral leaf. Rows of black square notation on four-line red staves alternate with gothic script. Center left, an ornate blue initial contains two figures against a gold-patterned background. A decorative border of blue and red flourishes extends down the left margin to a flared base. Tiny red and blue letters punctuate the text against a mottled, cream-colored parchment surface.
