A vertical cream-colored manuscript page features black Nasta'liq script organized into horizontal sections within a thin gold, orange, and blue rectangular border. A central header is written in light brown ink. The surrounding wide margins are unadorned, revealing age through darkened, frayed edges and small puncture marks along the right side from a former binding. Faint text from the reverse side shows through the aged paper.
