Neat but mysterious manuscript

This is a text in my posession of a mysterious nature. The paper has a relatively fine tooth and is a bit darker than in this image. The true color of the ink is more towards rusty brown than it is red. It may be the medium of the ink or some other element, but there is a slight halo effect around the character strokes. The fading at the top appears to be from mild water damage. The script is as yet unidentified. Interesting stuff.
