The panel is framed by bow-shaped patterns in alternating green and blue and decorated by six blue and magenta medallions inhabited by two-legged hybrids and a fowl in spared ground technique. Red flourishes extend from the corner medallions into the margins and framing the text column. The alphabet numeration for the percepts is written in square letters along the right margin.
