A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on tan paper features thick, black script organized into three vertical sections. Two bold red bands flank a central text block, which is centered around a solid red circle and divided by thin red vertical lines. Narrow horizontal bands of text frame the top and bottom. Flecks of gold decorate several characters, adding delicate highlights to the densely packed manuscript.
