Image Description: Digital art mimicking a manuscript page, with a scene framed by a deep red border of curling yellow leaves twining with rows of small dots. Upon a beach, the blue ocean and distant island stretches out underneath a pink-cloudy sky. A procession makes their way towards a large dark lump of whale-flesh that has a large bloody wound on it. Five people of a mix of ethnicities walk as a crowd: one wears blue pinstripes and has scarifications, one is tattooed and holds a pomander on beads, one wraps their sealskin around them, and one is wrapped in patterned cloth. In the front, a monk wrapped in blue striped cloth, strung-together slabs hanging around their shoulders, holds a dead fish in one hand and swings some plant fronds in another, sprinkling water onto the whale. End ID.

A Priest Gives the Corpse of the Whale its Proper Honor

Another one of those mimic manuscript pages. Took a different set of inspirations this time.
