A horizontally oriented tan paper is inked with dense, black Sanskrit characters arranged in horizontal rows. Faint red washes highlight several passages of the script. Vertical double-line borders frame the text on our left and right, within the worn, fragmented edges of the paper. Small characters appear in the margin on our left, and a number is written on the lower right edge.
