A vertically oriented, tan vellum page features two columns of dark-inked script. The weathered material is marked by irregular, fragmented edges and deep brown staining throughout. In the center margin sit small decorative symbols, including a red triangle and two circles containing crosses. Creases and frayed borders run across the page, highlighting its aged condition and the uniform characters of the script.
