A vertically oriented folio of aged brown paper features twelve lines of fluid Persian script in black ink. The text is enclosed within a thin rectangular border of gold and red lines, with horizontal rules dividing the script into distinct sections. To the left, a ragged edge shows small holes from a previous binding. The mottled paper surface displays warm brown tones and irregular staining throughout.
