It is a printed wall sheet with the drawings of Saints which are helpful during illness. There are 4 icons of Virgin and 55 pictures of Saints with inscriptions that tell the name of Saint, the date of his memory and which illness he is helpful against. The wall sheet was printed in Moscow in the Old believers printing-house which belonged to G.K. Gorbunov. There are two notes on the back side of the sheet. The first one has the name only: Alexandra Danilovna, probably she was an owner of the wall sheet. The second note was made in 1968, when the wall sheet was taken by a librarian Nicolaj Bubnov from it's owner, an escapist Maria Ivanovna, lived in the village Okulovka of the Kargopol region. The wall sheet was inside the handwritten Irmologion Kargopol. 174.
