Vertically oriented on aged tan paper, this manuscript page features rows of fluid black script. A thin blue and gold frame encloses the text, segmented by narrow horizontal gold bars. Small, dark binding holes punctuate the left edge, while faint brown stains mottle the top. In the lower left margin, a few lines of script tilt diagonally. The composition balances rhythmic calligraphy with the weathered, textured surface of the paper.
