A horizontal rectangular paper folio features rows of blocky black script on cream paper. Red vertical markings punctuate the text, which is framed by thick red vertical borders. Three large, solid red circles are spaced horizontally across the center. A black number sits in the lower right corner. The aged paper shows weathered edges and dark stains along the bottom.
