The image shows two pages from a book. The left page features a man sitting on a stool or chair with a shell on a string held by his right hand; the man has his mouth open and appears to be blowing into the shell. He wears a blue patterned robe. There are four lines of Asian script on the left, with one red stamp below. The right page depicts a black creature with horns, sitting on its haunches; it appears to be shooting two red beams from its eyes at the man on the left page. The pages are off-white with some darker spots.
