Page from a Dispersed Bhagavata Purana Manuscript
Rectangular page with aged, brown parchment-like background. Black text written in a non-Latin script, possibly Devanagari, occupies the top two-thirds and bottom third of the page on the left side. The text is divided into two sections by a horizontal line. A colorful illustration spans the center and right side of the page. The illustration depicts multiple scenes. On the left, two people interact in a black area. In the center, a group of people in various poses stand and sit in a red and yellow building. A man on horseback wearing blue and yellow rides to the right in front of the building. On the far right, a person in blue stands on a red background. The illustrations feature simple, flat, two-dimensional figures in bright colors, including red, blue, yellow, white, and brown.
