A horizontally oriented light tan paper is inked with dense rows of black calligraphy, punctuated by small red marks and gold highlights. Two vertical red stripes divide the composition, framing a central section anchored by a solid red circular medallion. To the left and right, vertical columns of script fill the margins. The gum tempera and ink work features aged, darkened edges and a faint red stamp on the far left.
