A horizontally oriented gum tempera manuscript page features rows of calligraphic script in black and red ink on aged, tan paper. Large characters break around a central red circle, framed by two vertical red stripes. Outside these stripes, margins contain dense columns of smaller text punctuated by additional red circles. Fine lines of minute script border the top and bottom edges, framing the structured composition.
