One side of a vertically oriented tan manuscript page features fifteen lines of black Persian script. The elegant, slanting text is framed by thin gold and blue lines, with a smaller header box at the top. The thick, aged paper has a deckled left edge and five circular holes along the right margin where it was once bound. A single small ink mark sits in the wide lower margin.

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