Description

Beginning of an Ismaʿīlī esoteric majlis, in Arabic script. Needs identification. Recto - Three lines in ornate floriated Kufic script, could be the title verso of the majlis but this is admittedly a guess. "majlis" can be read in l2. Two verses of poetry at the bottom. Needs examination.
