A horizontally oriented palm leaf depicts sequential scenes in gum tempera and charcoal. On our far left, a multi-headed figure lifts a jagged mountain beneath calligraphic script. In the center, a bear-headed figure and another attend to a reclining person with yellow skin. On our far right, an ornate figure stands beside a tree with patterned leaves. A circular hole is pierced near the center, bordered by vertical bands of decoration.
