India, around 18th to 19th century. The figures are seated on a high pedestal, both with a golden diadem and feathers. A golden sword is attached to the belt of the male figure with light blue robe. His hands stretched out to touch the female figure seated opposite, dressed in a red garment, a scarf draped around her body. A golden water vessel can be seen behind the man and an older female figure is stretching on the left. Almost half of this book page shows elegant Persian inscriptions, the back page shows only text.
