The image is a photograph of a piece of paper with text on it. The text is written in black ink and is divided into two columns. The first column is titled "Local Types of the Mezcal Style" and the second column is labeled "The variety of objects within the mezcal style is very wide. Nevertheless, there are three types which are especially typical: Figures and masks with very abstract facial and body features, barely suggested through lines or changes in planes. The shape of the full figures corresponds to that of an ax."

The text on the paper is in a simple, sans-serif font and is centered on the page. The background of the image is blurred, but it appears to be a beige-colored surface.
