The name and date within a rectangular frame are in the lower right corner. The first letter of the text is displayed in particularly prominent and elaborate calligraphy. In the lower left corner is a heart with flowers and a bird. Four additional birds and stems of flowers are above the text. The entire document is framed by a decorative border.
