A vertical cream-colored manuscript page features thirteen lines of black Persian script written in a flowing cursive style. A central rectangle encloses the text, topped by a header with red and black lettering separated by a gold horizontal line. Thin borders of gold, light blue, and orange frame the panel. Faded moisture stains mark the top left, while small circular binding holes run along the right edge.
