A gum tempera and ink painting on a horizontal strip of tan paper with frayed, irregular edges. Two rectangular blocks of dense black script occupy the middle, separated by a central column with a small hole encircled by a red ring. Vertical red lines frame these text blocks. Large red circles with black characters sit at the far ends to our left and right. The paper has a fibrous, aged texture.
