The pieces of paper are torn and have uneven edges, suggesting they could be fragments. Some pieces have a few lines of text, while others are more densely filled. The paper itself is aged, as indicated by its coloration, which varies from off-white to yellowish-brown. There is also notable smudging and ink bleed-through on some parts of the paper. One piece in the upper right corner seems to have just a few characters with ample blank space around.
