A horizontally oriented gum tempera manuscript folio features rows of black Indian script with red highlights on aged cream paper with faint gold accents. Red vertical lines divide the text, which breaks around a solid red circle in the center. Thick red bands frame the text on the left and right edges. Small red dots sit at the top and bottom center, while faint circular marks appear on the far margins.
