Black ink inscribed on a horizontally oriented, tan palm leaf manuscript features three blocks of dense script. Two small circular holes separate the blocks, which each contain five rows of characters. The fibrous surface shows faint horizontal striations and irregular, darkened edges. A small handwritten notation sits in the margin left of center. The script remains dark and uniform across the weathered, narrow strip.
