Map of the Holy Lad centered around Bethlehem. The Mediterranean occupies the left third of the paper. At the north, Lydda is seen, and Zorah is at the far east. Different regions have been highlighted by color wash outlines. There are decorative ships and whales on the sea, along with a scale and a coat of arms on a cartouche. The map is from the book "The Tribes of Israel" by Thomas Fuller; to finance the maps in the book, Fuller found a patron for each map. To recognize his contribution, Fuller had his coat of arms placed on the map with a dedication.
