A horizontally oriented tan paper is inked with ten rows of black script. Vertical red lines frame the text, punctuated by small red bars. Along the horizontal midline sit three solid red circles: one on our far left, one in the center, and one on our far right. The aged paper shows brown staining and a small tear along the top edge.
