Dimensions: 240 x 170 mm.
195 folios; Javanese paper (dluwang), except for ff. 123-126 which are of watermarked European paper. The folios of dluwang are of uneven thickenss and all have deckle/uneven outer edges. In black and red ink. There are further paper fragments found on ff. 50 and 51. NB ff. 43-46 comprise a loose quire, and it is uncertain where these folios belong.
Binding: The volume is currently unbound with several loose quires. The first and last pages (f. 1r and f. 195v) are discoloured and bear old numbers and stamps, suggesting the manuscript may have been without covers for some time. However, housed together with this manuscript are two covers and an envelope flap of an original Javanese brown leather binding with stamped frame bands and ornaments, but all three fragments are of slightly different size and therefore must originate from different bindings.
