A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink manuscript page on paper depicts King Siddhartha, with medium skin tone and a gold crown, facing a seated figure within a gold architectural frame topped by two blue peacocks. Densely packed black script fills the page, punctuated by vertical red lines and three solid red circles. The figures, with dark hair and gold jewelry, are set against a red background within the left illustrated panel.
