Description

The page contains a circular diagram, under a paragraph with 5.0 lines (unit "P"). The last line is interrupted by the diagram.

The diagram is framed by a circular band of text (unit "C"), between two concentric mechanically drawn thin circles. (An extra-wide gap at 10:30 may be the starting point.)

At the center there is a figure that looks pretty much like a flower, with eight almond-shaped petals. The petals have serrated edges, and overlap randomly. (However some pairs of petals seem to be fused.) The petals have been painted in a dark color.

At the very center of this "flower" there is an irregular star, with twisted rays, in a different color.

The "flower"'s outline ia an eight-sided star, resembling two concentric squares rotated 45 degrees apart. From the tips of each "petal", there sprouts a straight narrow tendril. Each tendril soon turns into a radial text line, reading outwards (unit "R"). Some of the text is therefore upside down.

The eight sectors defined by these rays alternately contain a bunch of unnamed stars, or two radial labels (unit "S"), collinear and reading outwards, with a single star between them. Clockwise from the division at 11:30 there are 9, 1, 8, 1, 9, 1, 9, 1 stars, i.e. 35 unlabeled ones and 4 labeled ones. The 03:00 sector (with 8 stars) has a speckled blotch behind and between two stars.

Comments

The small central flower may be the Sun. Or it may represent the stamens/pistils of the large flower surrounding it.

The speckles in the 03:00 sector possibly represent a more distant star cluster.

The radial lines should probably be read starting from 10:30, at the gap in the outer text ring. Besides, that ray is the only one that contains any EVA "p" (two of them).
