A pair of horizontal palm leaf strips displays rows of dense black script. On the top strip, the text flanks a central, red-framed illustration of a seated, light-skinned figure with multiple arms. The bottom strip features three distinct blocks of text. Both aged strips have irregular edges and two small circular holes. The dark characters are inked onto the cream-colored, fibrous surface, which shows wear and staining from age.
