Red book cover with gray floral designs. Inside the cover, a yellow rectangle at the top contains black foreign writing and the number "3". Under the rectangle, a gold-framed scene shows a woman on the left wearing a golden top and orange skirt sitting on a patterned rug with her left hand to her forehead and right hand on her right knee. The woman's hair is dark and pulled back with a headband; she wears a gold bracelet on her right wrist and a gold earring. A woman on the right wears a white top and red skirt with blue pants underneath; she sits on a patterned rug beside the first woman. The background shows a white building with a domed roof, pink and orange curtains, and a blue sky. The scene is surrounded by a thin gold border.
