A horizontally oriented paper folio features dense rows of angular black Indic script across three panels divided by vertical red bands. In the central section, the bold characters are accented with red and gold. Three large, solid red circles are spaced across the page. Finer black and red text fills the side panels. Thin red lines border the top and bottom of the cream paper, mirroring the thick vertical dividers.
