Detailed Description
A rectangular manuscript page is oriented horizontally, with a light brown or tan background. The page is filled with dense script written in black ink, with some sections in red ink. The text is arranged in multiple lines, forming a central block of writing flanked by narrower columns of text on the far left and far right edges. The central block of text features larger characters than the side columns. Within this central block, there are three distinct, solid red circles. One red circle is positioned on the left side of the central text block, approximately one-third of the way down from the top. Another red circle is located in the center of the page, also within the central text block, roughly at the same vertical level as the first. The third red circle is on the right side of the central text block, mirroring the position of the first, about one-third down from the top. The script is characterized by horizontal top lines connecting vertical strokes. The black text covers most of the page, while the red text appears intermittently within the black script. The side columns of text are narrower and contain smaller characters, also in black ink, with some red highlights. The edges of the paper appear slightly worn or uneven.
