Description

Recto: Letter or petition addressed to someone with many honorifics: al-muwaffaqiyya al-manṣūra al-ḥāmiya al-muʾayyadiyya.... Might mention the palace (al-qaṣr). The name of the sender may be at the upper left, and above that, "wāṣil al-muʾayyadiyya"(?). On verso there is an order of payment to give the bearer items such as mastic, maḥlab and coriander, with accounts (mentioning mercury) underneath. Needs further examination.
