An open book with yellowed pages and black text. A colorful initial 'F' dominates the right side of the image. The initial is blue, orange, and red, with gold accents. Inside the initial, a scene depicts two men presenting a golden chalice to a figure on the left, who appears to be a Jew, indicated by his head covering. The man on the right wears an orange tunic and presents the chalice with both hands. The figure on the left wears a blue tunic and a yellow hat, and holds his hands out in a receiving gesture. A red and blue border with gold accents surrounds the initial. The top of the initial features a red and blue design. The book lies open on a gray surface, with the right page turned slightly toward the viewer.
