The artwork itself is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of its time. Painted with opaque watercolor, ink, gold, and silver on paper, it exudes opulence and grandeur. The sheet measures approximately 29.6 x 16.2 cm (11 5/8 x 6 3/8 in. ), while the image itself occupies an area of about 21 x14 cm (8¼ x5½ in. ).
