A full-page portrait on the left-hand page depicts a standing cleric in ecclesiastical robes. He wears a pointed black cowl (veghar), a dark outer cloak (pilon) over a vertically striped tunic, and holds a long, simple staff in his left hand. The style is traditional Armenian miniature painting with flat perspective and bold outlines.

An ornate rectangular headpiece (khoran) on the right-hand page features two large interlaced circular motifs containing floral cross-like designs. The frame is filled with intricate scrollwork, vine patterns, and geometric borders in a blue and black palette.

A vertical marginal ornament on the right edge of the page consists of a stylized floral scroll with repeating leaf and flower bud motifs, tied with interlaced knots.

The initial word "PRAYER" is written in Trchnagir (bird-letters), where each letter is formed by the stylized body of a bird.

PRAYER

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

And with your chosen saints, establish the foundations of this; and grant success to the work of their hands. So that its completion may be in peace, and we may be worthy to enter through its doors, and while giving thanks, glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always and forever.
