sits in a small boat on a body of water and
holds a stick oar. There is an urban settlement on the far shore of the body of water.
Birds fly in the sky. Dense foliage grows on
the shores at the left and right sides of the illustration. A multi-part, semicircular
border is superimposed over the rectangular
illustration. 1/3-page illustration partially contained within a single-ruled border;
the foliage extends outside of the
border.
Two horns are intertwined at the center of the illustration. A symmetrical foliate

and extends to the left and right sides. Large flowers are placed on either side of
the horns. 1/32 page.
