A long, narrow, yellowed manuscript page with rough edges, featuring black text in an ancient language on the left and right sides, and a colored illustration in the center. The illustration depicts figures in a seated position; on the left a man with a white head covering sits on a throne-like chair. He wears a white robe and holds his hands in a prayer-like gesture. To his right, a man in a green robe and a woman in a red robe and white head covering sit cross-legged on the ground. On the right side of the illustration, a woman in a blue robe and white head covering sits cross-legged on the ground. Behind her, a woman in an orange robe and a man in a green robe and white head covering stand. The background of the illustration features red, orange, and yellow colors. A small hole is visible in the center of the manuscript. The background behind the manuscript is gray.
