The panel consists of an outer and inner frame of gold and is filled with blue and golden painted dots on a salmon pink background. Surrounding the text panel, in the margins, are painted flowers, micrography containing the Book of Esther and panels with mostly biblical scenes. <div>Text panel: Above the text, a yellow cartouche contains the first word on the contract in large gold characters. On both sides a panel with figurative decoration. Right of the cartouche: the wedded couple Manoaḥ and Stella. They wear garments in early 19th century Biedermeier style. Left of the cartouche: a winged angel standing before a couple - presumably Manoaḥ and Stella - who are preparing a burnt offering of a whole ram on an altar. Stella wears the same Biedermeier dress but Manoah wears classical Biblical garments. Above the scenes and the cartouche is a blessing in Aramaic and the biblical verse Proverbs 18:22 in larger pink characters.<br />Upper part of the border: in the centre is a medallion with a lion and decorated panels in the right and left corner. Right panel: Rebecca meeting Eliezer at the well (Genesis 24:11-20). Left panel: Joseph and Potiphar\u2019s wife (Genesis 39:12).<br />Lower right panel: Moses striking water from the rock (Numbers 20:11). Lower left panel: Yael kills Sisera (Judges 4:21). In the lower triangular extension of the sheet, a depiction of a scribe with a book in his hand and ink and pen in front of him on the table (possibly portraying the scribe or the artist).<br /><\/div><br />"
