A horizontally oriented rectangular paper displays nine lines of blocky black and red script. Two vertical red bands frame the text, while three solid red circles punctuate the center and sides. Thin red lines vertically divide the dense text into blocks. The ink characters are thick and uniform, rendered against an aged, light-brown surface. A small black symbol or number appears in the far bottom right corner.
