Folio from a Manuscript of the Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom)
The image shows a yellow stupa with a blue background. The stupa has a square base and is composed of several stacked, slightly decreasing tiers. A white section with a red pattern encircles the middle section of the stupa. The top section tapers to a point. Two red vertical stripes are on either side of the image. There is a semi-circle of red designs on either side of the stupa. The image appears to be on a piece of aged paper.
