Black ink script on a horizontally oriented tan palm leaf features two distinct sections. A jagged hole left of center separates a smaller block of text from a longer section on the right. Seven rows of densely packed characters follow the horizontal grain of the textured surface. Small red marks accent both ends of the folio. The warm, weathered material shows visible fibers and uneven edges, framing the precise rows of dark ink.
