A horizontally oriented off-white paper folio is inked with thick rows of black and red script. Two red vertical bars frame the central text, which contains a solid red circle at its center. In the right margin sits a separate column of script, while a faint, faded red circle marks the far left. Faint, ghosted text appears along the bottom edge.
