The nuns at the bottom cover their breasts by wearing the white robe over both shoulders.
A horizontally oriented palm leaf manuscript folio with jagged edges and a central circular hole is inscribed with dense black script. A framed rectangular illustration features two registers against a red background. In the upper register, a large seated figure with light skin faces a smaller seated figure across a stand. Below, five light-skinned figures sit together, gazing toward the left. Columns of script flank the illustration on the beige leaf.
