A vertical, light tan manuscript page features fourteen lines of flowing black Persian calligraphy. The script is arranged into three sections of two, four, and eight lines, all enclosed within a thin rectangular border of gold and blue. The paper shows age with torn, uneven edges on the right side. A small number is visible in the wide margin at the upper left.
