A horizontally oriented paper folio features dense rows of black calligraphic script on cream paper. Three large red circles punctuate the page: one on each side and one centered. Red vertical lines frame the central text block, while horizontal lines guide the rows. Small flecks of gold accent the calligraphy. The paper shows wear and slight discoloration at the edges, where smaller script fills the margins.
