One side of a vertically oriented tan page features eleven lines of rounded black Persian script within a rectangular frame. Thin blue, gold, and red lines border the text block. Mottled brown staining covers the upper margins, while small circular binding holes punctuate the left edge. In the lower corner, a few lines of smaller script sit at a diagonal outside the frame. The paper shows significant aging and foxing throughout.
