Miniature from the Tumbo A, which compiles a set of donations and royal privileges that benefited the Santiago diocese as a token of gratitude for the monarchy's generosity toward the Church. It consists of a total of 71 folios, which can be divided into four phases of execution.
Its artistic value lies in the miniatures, which depict the protagonists of these privileges. In the present image, the monarch Ferdinand III is portrayed seated, accompanied by a lion.
