A vertical, aged beige page features a central rectangular panel containing horizontal rows of black calligraphic Persian script. Two light gold headings punctuate the text. Concentric thin borders of blue, gold, and orange frame the central composition. The surrounding paper displays scattered foxing and several small holes along the left binding edge. A small handwritten note in black ink sits in the bottom left margin.
