Leaf from a Book of Hours: Ape Hunting Wild Boars (recto)

The image shows an aged, off-white page with a border and text. The top border is gold with green leaves and red fruits. To the left of the page is a vertical decorative border with blue, red, and gold designs, and green leaves. The majority of the page contains black text in a foreign language, possibly Latin, written in an old style. There are some blue words and gold, red, and blue decorations throughout the text. At the bottom of the page is an illustration of a scene with two wild boars and a monkey. The boars are brown, on the left side, and the monkey is brown, on the right side. The monkey is standing on two legs and holding a stick. The background of the illustration is a blue sky, green grass, and trees. There are two stone pillars on either side of the illustration.
