Detailed Description
The image displays a piece of light-colored, aged paper with black ink writing. The paper has a slightly textured appearance with visible creases and subtle discoloration. The writing is arranged in three main vertical columns, progressing from right to left, with a very small, short column of characters positioned at the bottom right. The ink is dark black, and the strokes vary in thickness, appearing fluid. The rightmost main column is the longest, starting near the top edge and extending downwards, featuring several characters with sweeping curves and sharp angles. To its left, the second main column is slightly shorter, also composed of multiple characters with similar stroke qualities. The third main column, further to the left, is the shortest and appears to consist of fewer, more elongated characters. The small column at the bottom right consists of two compact characters. The background is subtly aged.
