Horizontally oriented fibrous palm leaf is inked with three dense blocks of black script separated by two circular holes. The tan surface features a small marking in the margin to our left of the central block. Uneven, frayed edges with dark stains and light brown discoloration border the long rectangle. The material tapers into irregular shapes at the ends, highlighting the organic, weathered texture of the historical document.
