Seven men disputing possession of a woman bring her before the Tree of Justice into which she is absorbed, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Sixth Night
A colorful illustration depicts a scene with a woman in the center being led by seven men. The woman is positioned to the left of a tree, and she appears to be entering or being absorbed into it. The tree has green leaves and a thick trunk. The seven men are dressed in traditional clothing, including turbans and robes in various colors such as orange, blue, yellow, purple, red, green, and pink. They are all wearing white pants. The background features a blue area behind the figures, with a rocky outcropping at the top and a yellow sky above. The scene is framed by a border with Arabic text at the top and bottom. The overall style of the image suggests it is a medieval manuscript illustration.
