Support: Machine wove paper of at least two different types. Script: Ruqʻah ; quick, compact hand in a medium to heavy line ; serifless and freely ligatured with mainly closed counters, slight effect of inclination to the left and of words descending to baseline, pointing somewhat careless and in strokes rather than distinct dots, final yāʼ usually unpointed.
