The image is an aged piece of paper with black writing on it. The paper appears to be yellowed with age. The writing on the paper is vertical and consists of several lines of foreign text. The text is written in black ink and appears to be calligraphy. There are several lines of text on the left, right and center of the paper. In the top-right corner, there is a small oval sticker with the number "1691" written on it. The edges of the paper are worn and frayed. The background behind the paper is plain white.
