About this work

The sheet is vertically divided into two parts: text at the top and a depiction of King Pritha sitting on an elevation in a meadow below, with a cow being milked by a servant to his left. The scene is surrounded by a broad red border set with three red frame lines on each side that extend upward to frame the text; calligraphy in black and red, with a few loose text fragments to the left of the frame lines.
