The intricately detailed map depicts a significant portion of the Asian continent, extending from the Indian subcontinent to the Himalayas, and encompassing the islands of Sulawesi and Papua New Guinea. This magnificent work of art was produced during the Spanish Rule in the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily.
