A pair of horizontal palm leaf folios features columns of black script flanking a central illustration on the top strip. This gum tempera scene depicts Sudhana, a medium-toned figure, standing beside a white antelope beneath a green tree. The bottom strip consists of three text sections. Two circular binding holes pierce both strips, and the edges appear slightly frayed. The composition is rendered in black ink and tempera on weathered palm leaf.
