A vertically oriented parchment page is encased in a gold architectural frame labeled "Augustus." The upper painting depicts light-skinned figures harvesting under a blue cloud containing a winged figure. A man loads a cart pulled by a white horse while another in red robes watches on the right; a figure sits drinking on the lower left. Below, Latin text in red and black ink lists feast days. Muted earth tones are accented by gold leaf.
