The image features an illustration of a standing figure, seemingly representing an individual from a historical or cultural context. The figure is dressed in ornate clothing, which includes a long robe or cloak with detailed patterns and embellishments. On the head, the figure wears a tall headdress adorned with what appears to be a plume or crest-like feature. The individual is holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand.
Below the illustration, there is text that reads, "Narsingue Très fertile partie des Indes, depuis le cap Comorin le long du golphe de Bengala. Villes. Narsingue, Bisnaga, Malabar, Oriza, Bengala, Malaipur, Cambaye, (ampant), demeure du Roy, et Goa Ville des Portugais, Cambaya est une autre Ville et Royaume." This French text describes "Narsingue" (possibly referring to a historical region or kingdom in India) as a very fertile part of India from Cape Comorin along the Bay of Bengal. It lists several cities, including Narsingue, Bisnaga, Malabar, Orissa, Bengal, Malipur, Cambay, the dwelling place of a king, Goa as a city of the Portuguese, and Cambaya as another city and kingdom.
The presence of names such as "Malabar," "Orissa," and "Goa" suggests a depiction related to historical India, and specifically regions that were significant during times of exploration, trade, and colonial settlement. The image has a number at the top left corner, which may indicate that it is part of a series or collection of similar illustrations. The red diamond shape next to the number could be a marking or annotation unrelated to the original artwork.

This image resembles a vintage playing card with historical and geographical information. The card is labeled with the number 7 and a red diamond symbol in the top left corner, suggesting it is from a deck of cards.
The illustration on the card depicts a person dressed in elaborate, traditional attire with a tall, ornate headpiece. This person appears to be holding a cluster of objects, possibly flowers or a bunch of grapes, in one hand, while the other hand is on their hip.
Below the illustration, there is a block of text in French that begins with the word "Narsingue." The text reads:
"Narsingue
Tres fertile partie des Indes, depuis le cap Comorin le long du golphe de Bengala. Villes: Narsingue, Bifinaga, Malabar, Orixa, Bengala, Maliapur, Cambaye, (Campanel, demeure du Roy, et Goa Ville des Portugais. Camboya est une autre Ville et Royaume."
In English, this translates to:
"Narsingue
A very fertile part of India, from Cape Comorin along the Gulf of Bengal. Cities: Narsingue, Bifinaga, Malabar, Orixa, Bengal, Maliapur, Cambaye, (Campanel, residence of the King, and Goa city of the Portuguese. Camboya is another city and kingdom."
This playing card likely originates from a historical deck intended to educate about different regions and their notable cities and characteristics.
