The scroll is preserved in very good condition.
The first illustration (between the 1st and the 2nd column of the text, on sheet no. 1) depicts King Ahasuerus standing tall, wearing an opulent green garment, and facing the reader. There are two smaller figures on either side of him, potentially representing different nations within his empire - India (Hodu) and Ethiopia (Kush). It is labeled הוא אחשורוש המלך מהודו ועד כוש ("this is Ahasuerus who reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia" - Es. 1:1).
