A horizontally oriented manuscript features nine rows of blocky black and red script on stained cream paper. A solid red circle punctuates the center, dividing the text, while thick red vertical bands border the left and right sides. Within the dense black calligraphy, specific symbols and words are highlighted in red. Sparse markings and light staining appear along the paper's wide margins.
