A horizontally oriented manuscript page features rows of bold, black calligraphic script on aged cream paper. Two vertical red bands divide the central text from side margins. On the far left, center, and right are three large, circular red stamps. Smaller lines of black and red text border the top and bottom, while thick, angular characters fill the central area across the slightly frayed surface.
