The border on the left page also features red, blue and green flowers and leaves. The right page has an ornamental border with green leaves and red and yellow flowers. A brown squirrel is at the bottom center. The text on both pages is in black calligraphy with gold accents. The background of both pages is yellowed parchment. The pages have a worn and aged appearance. The text is written in Latin. The pages appear to be from a medieval manuscript.
