-
It is unclear if this is supposed to be a reproduction of a copy of a 14th century parchment image, The Fountain of Life, or a reproduction of an original artwork based on The Fountain of Life illustration.
Image is in green, gold and red on a white background. Shows a gazebo-type building. Coming down from the ceiling of the building, in between the pillars, is some fringed fabric tied in a knot. On either side of the building is a golden antelope-type creature and a tree. On the peaked roof stand four green birds. On either side of the roof, in the air, is a peacock-like bird.
