Did You Know?

The three red dots in the margins and the center occur only on the reverse side of the page; the obverse side has only one red dot in the center.
A horizontally oriented rectangular paper folio is inked with nine rows of structured black script. In the center sits a large, solid red circle. Thick red vertical bands frame the text on the left and right, while thin red marks punctuate the rows. Touches of gold highlight specific characters. The aged beige paper shows dark brown staining in the upper right and circular shadows on the far left and right margins.
