Black ink and tempera on vellum depict a vertical page where dense Gothic script is framed by an arching, vine-like structure. Intricate blue and gold lines splay out from the border, filled with frenzied, delicate strokes of birds and butterflies. A hooded hybrid emerges from the foliage on the left, while a green-shelled creature anchors the base. Bold initials punctuate the text, creating a structured yet organic composition across the parchment.
