A horizontally oriented tan paper folio features nine rows of dense black script with metallic accents. A large red circle sits at the center, while thin red lines separate the text. Two thick vertical red bands frame the central field. In the margins, faint red circular marks and smaller characters appear. The muted tan paper shows light staining across its surface and edges.
