A horizontally oriented paper folio features nine rows of black script on an aged cream surface. Three large red circles punctuate the far left, center, and far right. Thick red bands border the page vertically, while thin red lines divide text segments. Gold pigment highlights specific characters. A dark stain marks the bottom edge, and a handwritten number sits in the lower right corner.
