Descriptive card

15 lines per page. Nash script, vocalized, written with low-quality black ink, unstable when in contact with moisture. The thirtieth juz' was added later. The names of the surahs, the number of ayahs, and other markers are written in red ink. The paper is thick, smooth, dark white, without a watermark, and of Eastern origin. It has moisture damage, and the edges of the pages have been repaired. Pagination was added later with graphite pencil. The binding is original leather with a flap, in good condition. The exterior is decorated with floral rosettes. There is no information about the scribe, the place, or the year of transcription. Based on the analysis, it is likely from the 18th century.
