These pages display a combination of Mamluk appearance, Ilkhanid features, and an unusual combination of scripts that suggest a possible Yemeni origin. The first and last lines of each page are written in muhaqqaq outlined in gold, and the middle line is in gold thuluth outlined in black, while most of the text is written in black naskh. The Surah heading, composed of white Kufic within a panel set off by squares of gold interlace at each end, also sports a pear-shaped palmette that extends into the margin. Large rosettes indicate each verse within the text, while a gold, pear-shaped device in the margin marks each fifth verse. Each tenth verse is identified in the margin with the word arshar (“ten”) inside a gold circle with blue border and radiating hair strokes.

The complete bifolium covers approximately from Surah XVII (The Night Journey), verse 95 to Surah XVIII (The Cave), verse 25.
