content: From card: "A. Koran itself, printed in black type entirely in the native script, with each page bordered in a geometric design. Bound in a brown buckram-like material, and half leather covered at the back, but leather does not appear to have been well finished because the surface has become speckled where a plastic had come into contact with it. B. Silk handkerchief, square, light green ground, with printed border of outline designs of palm leaves and continuous loop design, yellow against red. 71 cm. square. It is tied around the Koran before it is slipped into the velvet envelope. Though collected in 1961, as a gift of Mrs. Glinlanadi Talpur, it was said to be an old one. Hands are always washed before touching it or the Koran. C. Envelope for the Koran, made of blue bordered red velvet outside and lined with yellow silk, a rectangle with a fold over flap, just like an envelope. 41 cm. W., 30 cm. high."
