Detailed Description
A rectangular manuscript page, oriented horizontally, has a light yellowish-brown hue. Its surface appears somewhat textured, possibly from its material. The page is densely covered with script, primarily in black ink, with portions written in red ink. The main body of text is arranged in horizontal lines, forming a large central block that spans most of the page's width. This central text block is bordered by thin red lines at its top and bottom edges. On the far left and far right margins, smaller blocks of text are visible, also in black and red ink, running vertically or in shorter horizontal lines. Three prominent, solid red circles are evenly spaced across the page's width, positioned slightly below the vertical center of the main text block. Each circle is roughly the same size, appearing as a distinct, hand-drawn mark against the background of text. The edges of the page are slightly irregular, particularly on the right side, suggesting a natural or hand-cut edge.
