A vertically oriented ink and tempera drawing on vellum depicts Latin script with colorful initials. An intricate border of blue, gold, and orange vines frames the text, interspersed with birds and butterflies. At the bottom, a figure with light skin tone in a red tunic and blue leggings faces our right, playing a long wind instrument. On our right, a hybrid figure wearing a red hat perches on a vine.
