An ass's head protrudes from above Ravana's many crowns. Flat green ground with flowering plants; blue sky and pink landscape along top and bottom of image, respectively. Outlined in black and framed by a plain beige border; page cut before mounted into album. Album contains 67 Deccani paintings, mostly depictions of named individuals, along with some Hindu gods and goddesses.
