A horizontally oriented tan paper features nine dense rows of meticulous black-inked script. A vibrant red tempera circle marks the center, flanked by text punctuated by thin vertical red strokes. Two thick red bands border the central block on either side. Above, a fine line of script spans the page width. Faint reddish circular impressions sit within the outer margins of the manuscript leaf.
