A vertical tempera manuscript page on vellum features a central scene of a woman with light skin tone in blue and a man in green and pink kneeling before an infant. A brown ox and donkey stand in a thatched shelter behind them. Below, Latin calligraphy begins with a large blue initial. Elaborate borders of glinting gold leaf, swirling blue vines, and colorful birds frame the text, interspersed with small human figures and a shield.
