A horizontal rectangular folio features rows of calligraphic script on stained beige paper. Two thin red vertical bands divide the page into three sections. The wide central panel contains large black and red characters surrounding a solid red circle. Narrower side columns show smaller, dense text. Dark, irregular staining runs across the bottom and edges of the paper, framing the rhythmic, black and red ink lines.
