A horizontally oriented manuscript page on tan paper features ten lines of black and red script accented with gold. Wide red vertical bands frame the central text, anchored by a solid red circle at the center. The worn paper displays stains along the edges and a small white paper patch covering script on the bottom row. Faint columns of text are visible in the margins beyond the red bands.
