A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on a frayed palm leaf features blocks of dense black script. Vertical red borders separate the columns, with a circular hole punched through the center-left. Toward our right, a figure with a light skin tone and large eyes sits on a yellow seat against a red background. Facing right, they hold a flower, framed by a distinct border of yellow and red lines.
