This codex is undated, but the only stamp is dated 1311/1893-4. The cover design seems to have been done in the 19th century.
Exquisite codex assembled from painted and laquered board, which features the same realistic rose design on both covers. Spine is of plain leather. Both inside covers contain crude paintings of yellow flowers (daffodils?). Pages are bordered in gold paint. Chapter titles are written in red ink upon gilded designs, accompanied by colorful designs. Initial page with frontispiece with title is elaboritely decorated with gold paint and colorful designs. Both the main Persian text and Arabic prayers are written in black ink in tawki (or possibly thulth) script; Persian translation of prayers is written in red ink in nastaʻlīq script directly beneath the prayers.
