A vertically oriented book page on stained paper features Persian script in black and red surrounding a rectangular red frame. Within the frame, an opaque watercolor depicts two gray birds facing a central floral motif with a red center. The bird on our left stands on a brown mound, while the bird on our right sits among blue scrolling lines. A small gold circle rests at the top against a blue sky.
