A Pattachitra painting has been done on both sides of the palm leaf and is divided into two equal panels. On the obverse side, in the left section, a prince is sitting against a big mauve cushion and two courtiers are standing paying homage with folded hands. A fan-bearer stands behind him. In the second panel, a prince is sitting and receiving the princess who is standing before him. On the reverse side, in the left panel, a prince is standing under a tree and engaged in conversation with a person who is paying respects to him. An attendant holding a morchhal (feather fan) is standing in front of him. There is an inscription on the front.
