A vertically oriented tan paper page features thirteen rows of flowing black Persian calligraphy within a central rectangular panel. A smaller header in light gold script sits above the main text. Multiple thin borders in blue, red, and gold frame the panel. Dark stains and small jagged tears mar the left margin, while a few words of diagonal script appear in the lower left corner.
