A vertically oriented manuscript leaf features thirteen horizontal rows of flowing Persian calligraphy in black ink on aged, tan paper. Two words are highlighted in blue ink near the center and at the bottom. The text is enclosed within a thin, decorative border of gold, red, and blue lines. The paper surface has a mottled texture with subtle tonal shifts. The elegant script is fluidly written, filling the framed rectangular space.
