The monk returns the magic parrot to its rightful owner, the merchant, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Tenth Night
A colorful illustration at the bottom depicts a scene with two men. One man sits on a low platform, wearing a blue long-sleeved tunic and a yellow and black patterned shawl. He wears a brown sash around his waist. His right leg is bent and his left leg is straight. The man on the left stands facing him, wearing an orange long-sleeved tunic and white pants. He holds a green parrot in both hands, offering it to the seated man. A yellow sun shines behind the standing man. The background includes a blue sky, a red brick wall to the right of the seated man, and a brown doorway. A block of black text written in a foreign language is above the illustration on a yellow and beige background. A thin gold border surrounds the image.
