The Flagellation (folio 182 recto), from a Mirror of Holiness (Mir’at al-quds) of Father Jerome Xavier
A man with a beard and no shirt or shoes is tied to a tree trunk with ropes; he wears a blue loincloth. He stands on a field with green and brown grass and pink flowers. Eight men in colorful clothes, with head coverings and some with long spears, surround him. A rocky cliff to the left meets a blue and white sky with a few white clouds. A box with foreign writing, likely in Arabic script, sits above the scene. The box and scene are surrounded by a thin gold line on a tan background.
