The goldsmith judged; the bear cubs trained by the carpenter as though they were his sons, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Third Night

Colorful illustration on aged paper with yellowed text block at bottom. The image depicts several men and two bear cubs in a scene. A man sits cross-legged on a patterned rug; he wears an orange tunic and white pants. He faces a man with a purple tunic and white pants. The standing man has his palm facing the seated man. Two men stand behind the seated man; one wears green and the other wears blue and yellow. In the upper left, another scene shows three men around a rectangular container. One man in a red tunic serves a dish to another wearing purple. The third man sits on the left; both wear turbans and have beards. Below the scenes, a block of black text written in a foreign script, likely Arabic. The background shows a building on the right with a red, blue and white exterior. The scene appears to take place outdoors with green grass. A decorative border frames the top and sides.
