A vertical manuscript page of aged, tan paper features a central rectangular panel framed by fine blue, red, and gold lines. Fourteen rows of slanted, flowing Persian calligraphy in black ink are neatly arranged beneath a small header box. The left edge is punctuated by binding holes, while a lone line of script sits in the bottom margin. The elegant, elongated characters create a rhythmic, fluid pattern across the paper's textured surface.

An Indian family in Great Britain, whose grandfather brought the manuscript to England in the 1930s or 1940s
