Fol. 56: In the upper part of the left text column the initial word ”It is written” (כתוב) opening tractate Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is written in display script within a monochrome green panel. The letters are filled with red scrolls filled with red and green scrollwork and decorated at the junctions with small red circles. The panel is decorated with various animals in light green on a green background as follows: above the word are two confronting animals; the right is a winged dragon with long ears and a body composed of joints which confronts a bear-like animal. Within the letters depicted from right to left are a two-legged hybrid, a bird, a mask, and a hare. Below the word is a dragon with a leafy tongue and a long twisted tail. A red border dotted in white, frames the panel. At the upper part of the text column tractate Rosh Hashana (New Year) ends in a form of a triangle.
