Tuti the parrot begins to tell Khujasta a story about the importance of keeping secrets. The green and gold tiled floor, mauve background, and arabesque, yellow band are vestiges of an earlier paining tradition.

A vertically oriented gum tempera and ink painting depicts a pink room framed by horizontal rows of Persian script. Center left, a woman with medium skin tone in an orange dress gestures toward a green parrot in a red cage. To our right, an attendant in a green striped garment raises a whisk beside a blue patterned alcove. Various vessels adorn the walls, and a low green wall defines the bottom of the scene.
