A horizontally oriented tan paper folio is inked with dense rows of black calligraphy. Two thick vertical red bands partition the page into a large central section and two narrow side margins. Three solid red circles punctuate the horizontal midline: one in each margin and one in the middle. The central script is rendered with large, bold strokes, while smaller, compact characters fill the surrounding borders and narrow side panels.
