A vertically oriented manuscript page features fifteen horizontal lines of fluid Persian calligraphy in black ink on aged, cream-colored paper. Enclosed in a rectangular gold, blue, and red border, the script has varying line thicknesses. A faint title in red ink marks the top section. Small diagonal annotations appear in the bottom left margin, while the left edge shows visible staining and fraying.
