A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on tan paper features a manuscript page divided into three sections by red vertical lines. Intricate rows of angular black script, accented with red, fill the composition. Three prominent red circles are centered in each panel. Smaller text borders the top and bottom of the middle section, while the paper shows slight wear and a small notch at the top.
