The following description was prepared by William Gross:

A beautifully written Kabbalistic siddur according to the Ha’ari, Included a prayer to be recited in front of the Kotel ha-Ma'aravi. This rare 18th-century siddur by way of the Kabbalah, is beautifully written and contains a few diagrams and illustrations inside. Such Kabbalistic prayer books were generally written by the person who used them for prayers.  This example has signs of extensive use. The first printing of such Kabbalistic prayer books was at the end of the 18th century. Such well-written manuscripts of this type are very rare. They were principally used by Hassidic Jews.
