A manuscript spread features two vertical pages of curving black Persian calligraphy arranged in six horizontal bands against gold-leaf backgrounds. On the right page, the bottom line is written in red script. Intricate gold and blue floral borders frame the panels, which are enclosed by thin rectangular lines. A small floral emblem sits below the text on the right. Wide cream margins show light brown staining throughout.
