Rectangular manuscript page with dense black and red text, featuring four solid red circular marks
Detailed Description
A horizontally oriented, rectangular manuscript page displays dense text in black and red ink on a light, aged background. The page has slightly uneven edges, appearing hand-cut or worn. The majority of the surface is covered with tightly packed script, primarily in black ink, with certain words or phrases highlighted in red. The script features a distinctive horizontal line at the top of many characters. Four prominent, solid red circular marks are evenly spaced across the page, interrupting the flow of text. One red circle is positioned on the far left, another slightly left of the center, a third slightly right of the center, and the fourth on the far right. These circles are roughly uniform in size and are placed within the text.
