This simple but confidently drawn sketch of a city presents a central palace surrounded by four corner scenes. At the upper right, a crowd is gathered around a temple that houses a four-armed goddess. At the lower right, Raja Saspal, identified by the inscription, is accompanied by musicians and attendants. At the upper left, a seated noble addresses guests in an encampment surrounded by elephants, horses, camels, and bulls. At the lower left is a group of seated figures in discussion.
