A vertical paper page features horizontal rows of black-inked Persian script on cream paper. The fluid, calligraphic characters sweep elegantly across the page, punctuated by a central blue heading. A small grid divides the middle script into two columns. Thin borders of gold and red frame the entire composition. At the bottom center, the paper is weathered by a large, dark brown stain.
