A vertically oriented, cream-colored manuscript page features thirteen lines of fluid black script within a central rectangle. The slanted text is framed by thin blue, red, and gold borders, topped by a horizontal panel of faint gold calligraphy. Small binding holes line the worn left edge of the aged paper. A few characters of additional text are tucked into the lower-left margin, while subtle staining marks the surface.
