A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on paper depicts dense black script divided by red vertical marks. To the right, a rectangular panel contains a seated figure with yellow skin tone at the center of a circular gold diagram. Concentric gold and blue rings surround the figure against a dark red background with small gold figures and animals in the corners. Three red circles are spaced across the folio.
