Rectangular, light brown, wooden leaf with rounded edges. The leaf has two circular holes, one on the left and one on the right, with reddish-brown discoloration around them. The surface of the leaf contains rows of small, intricate, curved writing in dark brown ink. The writing appears to be in an ancient script. There are scattered reddish-brown marks on the surface. The leaf is set against a plain, off-white background.
