The scene depicts Esther before the crowned and enthroned Ahasuerus who extends his hand towards the queen who stands before him and outstretches her hand. Both hold a scepter. It is difficult to decipher if here the moment when Ahasuerus gives Haman's house to Esther (Es. 8:1) or the moment when he extends his scepter to her is represented (Es. 8:4).
The text is inscribed in a square Italian script in 19 text panels, in 20 columns containing 13 lines each. Panel no. 16 is an exception and contains 2 columns: one of them is the column listing the names of Haman's ten sons inscribed in the most populat layout.
On the opening section, three library stamps are visible.
On the opening part of the scroll there is a Hebrew inscription:
הגביר כהר שמואל יצו בכה הגביר המרומם הר' יצחק נטף יצו יזייא
