The folio consists of a single leafs scribed in bold 'nashki' black ink on thin paper. It contains eight (8) lines of scripture and twelve (12) verses indicated by simple gold 'aya', and is divided 3/4 of the way down by a beautiful SurHijrah heading scribed in white Thuluth within a gold cartouche, inside an elaborate frame.
