A partial white line forms roughly three-quarters of a rectangle that runs off the bottom of the sheet. Thin bright blue lines are superimposed over the grey and white lines, forming triangles, straight lines, and what appear to be phrases in a reversed script. The work is signed and dated bottom right corner: [Sam Gilliam 81]. The edition is in the lower left corner: [48/60].
