Description

The page contains only a circular diagram, framed by three faint mechanically drawn circles and three rings of text (unit "C").

The first ring of text lies just inside circle #1 (the outermost one). Only the top half of the ring is filled, and mostly with dots and circles; the text proper is only a couple of words.

Text rings #2 and #3 lie just outside circles #2 and #3. There are extra-wide word gaps at about 10:30, not aligned, and smaller but aligned gaps at 01:30.

Inside the frame there is a textured and lightly-colored disk, whose outline is broken by nine features with frilled edges that resemble fat mushrooms, or squashed cauliflowers, or sea anemones without tentacles, or... um... well....

Between the text frame and the "mushroom thing" there are nine radial phrases (unit "Y"), each with two or three words, reading inwards, starting near the frame and ending in the notch between two consecutive "mushrooms".

At the center of the diagram there us a star with six slender arms, inscribed in a circle with many short and rounded fingers. Between the star arms there are six labels (unit "X"), reading inwards.

A faint straight radial line extends from the 10:30 arm and bisects the corresponding mushroom (which happens to be the smallest one).

Just outside the many-fingered disk there is a ring of text (unit "I"). Its starting point seems to be the radial line at 10:30.

Comments

The starting point of the outer ring is probably at the aligned gaps at 01:30, although the person who scribbled on the copy seemed to prefer the non-aligned gaps at 10:30.

The starting point of the outer labels may be at 01:30 too, since that label has a "p" gallows. Another possibility is the label at 10:30, just counterclockwise of the smalest "mushroom" (and of its bisecting line).

John Grove thinks that the labels were written counter-clockwise as those that are upside down are the ones between 6:00-1:00.
