A horizontal palm leaf in warm tan features three dense blocks of dark black text separated by two circular holes. Small characters appear in the margins at the far left and right. While the horizontal edges are straight, the short ends are slightly rounded and irregular. The uniform script is meticulously arranged in rows, filling three distinct rectangular sections across the leaf's length.
