This image shows an open book with an illuminated manuscript page. The page has a large rectangular illustration of a religious scene. The scene depicts a woman in blue surrounded by 10 people; she and five of them wear halo-like circles around their heads. The woman and four of the people on either side of her wear robes; the people on the far left and right sides wear tunics. The woman sits on a bench; the other people stand. Behind them, there are three arched windows with a starry sky. The illustration is framed in gold. The frame is surrounded by a border with colorful flowers, leaves, birds, and insects. The border on the left side includes a naked man holding a blue snake. The bottom center of the border has a shield. The right side of the image shows the edge of the right page of the book. The right page has black text on it. The pages of the book are off-white and have a rough texture. The book's pages have yellowed with age. The background behind the book is black.
