This is a medieval manuscript illustration. The image is framed by a simple border. The central focus is a bizarre humanoid figure with a large, dense cluster of green, spiky leaves growing out of its head instead of hair. The figure is reddish-brown, with long, thin arms and legs. Its hands and feet are depicted with claw-like fingers and toes. The figure is bound at the wrists with what appears to be rope or cord. To the right of the humanoid figure is a small, red animal resembling a dog or a fox, depicted in mid-leap. It's holding a long, thin rod or staff in its mouth. To the far right is a small, ornate bowl or chalice, containing what looks like a golden substance. The background is a faded, parchment-like color, filled with densely packed, illegible text. At the bottom of the image, there are two words written in red: 'effectum' on the left and 'herba' on the right.
