A detailed manuscript illustration representing the constellation Orion. The constellation is personified as a male figure with a beard and red-pigmented cheeks. He is depicted in a dynamic pose, wearing a dark green patterned tunic decorated with gold circles representing stars. He holds a red, angled staff or bow in his raised right hand. A long red scabbard hangs from his waist. His legs are clad in lavender-pink leggings. Numerous Arabic labels identify individual stars and provide astronomical coordinates. Gold circular dots of varying sizes indicate the magnitude and position of the stars.
