A horizontally oriented tempera and ink manuscript folio features dense rows of stylized black calligraphy with red accents on tan paper. Three large, opaque red circles are spaced across the page, positioned between vertical red dividers that separate a central text block from narrow side columns. Finer lines of script occupy the margins, and the paper shows age through its frayed and uneven bottom edge.
