Rustam slaying the dragon:

The folio has been trimmed to the outer borders. The pigments are very well preserved overall. However, the green pigment has corroded through the paper and has stained the reverse, As a result, the paper is extremely fragile and there are a number of cracks across the illustration. This folio must be manipulated with extreme care if taken out of its frame. One tear almost goes across the entire folio, following a curved line above the horse's and dragon's heads - it only affects the feather on the horse's head and the tip of Rustam's sword. There are three small losses in the paper - along left border, above the horse's saddle, along right border and at top above Rustam's head.
There is occasional spotting and smudging on the text. The folio appears generally clean however. It is mounted in modern mounts, framed and glazed
