A horizontally oriented manuscript page of ink on aged tan paper features seven rows of rhythmic calligraphic script in black and red. Three large red circles punctuate the center, flanked by vertical red borders framing the text. The characters are dense and uniform, with red highlights occasionally interrupting the black lines. In the lower right corner is a small black inscription, while dark circular stains mottle the weathered surface.
