Notes
Manuscript leaves. Title supplied by cataloger. Foliation: Modern foliation added, beginning with 10 (f. 10-11). Layout: 15 lines in two columns. Script: Written in nasta'līq in black ink; pointed. Decoration : Two simple paintings in opaque watercolor. Each painting is of a person in pink garb on a green, hilly background with blue sky. One person is bald, standing, wearing sandals, a green cloak and a rope belt with two objects hanging from it holding a staff. The other is wearing a brown cloak and shoes and a white turban with a feather in it, holding a finger bowl and is seated next to a flask. Origin: Items are undated, but likely created in the late 19th or early 20th century. Shelfmark: MS Or 152b. Two unrelated manuscripts previously housed with this item have been separately cataloged as MS Or 152a and MS Or 152c. Presumed to be a gift of David Eugene Smith, 1931-1934.
