A vertical page of aged paper features thirteen lines of Persian Nastaliq script written with black ink. The text is enclosed in a rectangular frame outlined with blue and gold borders. A separate header panel at the top reads "Dastan-i Masih." The paper's left edge is frayed with visible binding marks, while the top shows dark staining. Two short lines of script appear in the margin below the frame's bottom-left corner.
