Medieval-style illustration of a calendar page for March. The illustration features a group of five men in medieval clothing in a semi-outdoor setting. The man on the left wears blue and brown; the second man from the left wears green, blue, and white; the third man wears green and blue; the fourth man wears blue and brown; and the fifth man on the right wears brown and blue. The man second from the left holds a bow and appears to be shooting an arrow. The man on the far right holds a horn. The men appear to be in motion. The scene is framed by a brown archway with decorative details. The top center of the archway features the text "Martius" in red in a white rounded rectangle, and below it is a blue and gold banner with a white lamb on it. The background shows a blue sky with trees and green grass on the ground. Below the illustration, there is a section of text in black, red, and gold.
