Sunday, September 14, 1119 (year 239 of the Newar Samvat in the month of Ashvina)

Black ink and gum tempera applied in three dense rectangular blocks across a horizontally oriented, fibrous palm leaf. On the light brown surface, seven lines of uniform script fill each section, separated by two circular holes. Smaller characters sit at the far left and right edges near the strip's rounded, irregular ends. This composition balances the dark, rhythmic text against the long, narrow, organic medium.
