The lover’s son makes an elephant of the pastry dough carried by the unfaithful wife and puts it in her basket, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Eighth Night

The image shows a page from an illustrated manuscript. The page is aged, with yellowed paper and a darker border around the edges. The top half of the page contains black text written in a language that appears to be Arabic script. The bottom half of the page features an illustration. In the illustration, a man in an orange robe and a white sash stands on the left, looking at a woman in a blue top and purple skirt, who holds a small object and stands with a man in a green robe. To their right, a brown horse with a colorful saddle is positioned. On the right side of the illustration, a man in a red robe kneels and holds up a large piece of dough shaped like an elephant. A tree and a pot are behind him. The scene is set against a backdrop of a blue sky with a tree on the right and a single tree on the left. The ground is depicted as yellow bricks.
