A horizontal paper folio features Devanagari script in black and red ink and a two-tiered painting. A red circle sits amidst the central text, with a narrow column of script to the far left. On the right, two stacked registers depict four figures with light skin tones and golden halos. Seated in pairs against a red background, they wear ornate gold garments. Small patches of paint have flaked away in the lower illustration.
