A horizontally oriented paper folio features nine rows of dense, black-inked script on aged tan paper. Thick vertical red lines frame the block of text. Three solid red circles are positioned across the midline: one in the center and one on either end. The characters are occasionally punctuated by thin vertical red lines. In the bottom right corner is a small script number. The paper's edges are frayed.
