Written surface gold-sprinkled and bordered by gold; columns separated by double gold lines. Catchwords. Extensive damp staining in lower quarter of ms., resulting in occasional smudging. Otherwise in good condition.

Illuminated ʻunwān on fol. 42b marks beginning of the ghazalīyāt in text 2; smaller illuminated headings mark the tarjīʻāt (fol. 107b) and rubāʻīyāt (fol. 122b). Headings and colophon in gold on a delicate gold and blue foliar background. Last line of every ghazal and tarjīʻ written in a central rectangle flanked on either side by illuminations in gold and color.
