A vertically oriented tan page features two blocks of black calligraphy in a flowing, slanted script. A border of thin red and blue lines with a gold band frames the text. The paper has a frayed, torn left edge with small holes along the margin. A large triangular patch covers the bottom right corner. Flowing black ink strokes vary in weight against the weathered surface of the manuscript.
