The wolf advises the lion to consult the cat, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Fifteenth Night
A page from an illustrated manuscript with text in black ink on a yellowed parchment background at the top. A colorful illustrated scene at the bottom depicts an orange and black striped tiger lying down on a pink rocky outcropping; a wolf-like animal in light brown fur stands on a rock on the left; a cat-like animal in black fur faces them on a lower rocky outcropping. Lush green foliage grows beneath the animals and rocks; blue water fills in the background behind the outcroppings and pink-hued cloud-like formations float behind them.
