Open book with yellowed pages, two columns of black text in a language that appears to be Latin. A large, decorative letter "O" is on the left side. The letter is filled with a blue circular frame. Inside the letter is an illustration of a woman with long brown hair, wearing a white head covering and a red dress. She sits on a brown throne-like chair and holds a baby, who has a halo and wears a white garment. The baby sits on her left arm, which is covered by a white cloth. The woman looks down at the baby. The right page has some red markings.
