A vertically oriented, aged tan page features lines of black Persian script within a rectangular frame. Thin blue and red borders enclose the text, divided by smaller red and gold headings. Significant wear shows at the frayed, torn right edge, marked by small holes. Faint text shows through from the reverse, and a marginal note sits at the lower left. The dark ink contrasts sharply with the paper's weathered tone.
