Summary

Illumination cut from a folio of a Thai manuscript, showing two women, possibly nuns, kneeling in a devotional pose before a yellow background. On the verso is a modern copy of text from the Phra Malai. A small piece of the manuscript with yellow on one side and text on the other is pasted in the center of the right edge to reinforce the hinge. The upper right corner is slightly damaged.
