A fragmented manuscript page features twelve rows of black Persian calligraphy. Each row of script is individually encased in undulating gold clouds. A thin gold and blue border frames the central text, while a wide margin on the left is decorated with gold floral vine patterns. A small panel at the top contains faded script against a gold ground. The light brown paper has irregular, torn edges.
