The compositions are primarily set within domestic interiors featuring patterned carpets and cushions, often positioned before windows that reveal stylized landscapes with trees and rolling hills. Some illustrations are enclosed within simple black or polychrome ruled borders. Occasional Persian script is present in the margins of some pages.
