Medieval illuminated manuscript miniature, hand-painted ink and gouache on aged cream vellum, flat Gothic perspective, bold dark outlines, burnished gold leaf accents, crackled parchment texture, ornate border: a colossal ancient tree with a whole city built among its boughs and roots, rope bridges and hanging lanterns, orchards at its foot, green banners, a calm sea coast beyond, flat scan of a single page filling the whole frame, no text, no lettering, no modern elements.
