This leaf is in unusually good condition, despite the appearance of damp staining, which is largely confined to one corner, minimally affecting the text and a small tear in bottom margin. We therefore, consider this 600-year-old leaf to be just under fine condition [F-]. It is a rarity to find Bihari script in any condition and the fact that this leaf is in such good condition makes it extremely collectable and a fine addition to any manuscript collection.
