Two long, narrow, aged manuscript pages with text written in black ink. The top page has a red and yellow square painting on the right side, showing three figures. The pages are made of a light-brown material, possibly palm leaves. The top page has a hole near the center and red bands at both ends. The pages have rough, uneven edges. The background of the image is light gray. The text on both pages appears to be written in an ancient script.
