Public Notes
No image available. The page is preceded by a page of chalipa script, undecorated. This, like the previous, is quite a crude picture. The Khaqan of China has a thin white cord round his neck and is about to be pulled off his elephant by the charging Rustam, who is wearing his Babr-i bayan but not his leopard hat.

Note that at about this point in the mansucript, the rubrics are written crudely in gold, in a different hand and style from the rest of the manuscript, but only for a little.
