Vertically oriented cream paper displays thirteen horizontal rows of black Persian calligraphy. Cursive strokes vary in weight, creating a rhythmic pattern. Near the bottom, a single red word sits above a long blue horizontal stroke, marked by a faded pink stain. A border of red, gold, and blue lines frames the page. The ink is dense and controlled, preserving the cream paper between the elegant, tapering characters.
