Page from the Poem of Beauty and Love by Bihzad. The image shows a piece of aged paper with Arabic writing on it. The paper is off-white and rectangular, with a darker border around the edges. There are two thin black lines around the perimeter of the paper, one close to the edge and one about a centimeter in. Inside the lines is a large rectangle containing 7 lines of Arabic writing in black ink. The rectangle has a gold background with a blue border and gold filigree along the sides. The writing is in a calligraphic style and is written in black ink, with one word written in red ink. In the bottom-left corner of the paper, there is a small decorative design. The background behind the paper is plain white.
