It is written on thin, factory manufactured paper, and the stamping is visible on the sixth, eighth, and the twelfth pages, the Russian name, Sumkin, in the stamping of the eighth page is quite legible. It was written with a paint-brush and in black Chinese waterproof ink. Each page contain 14 lines. On the f.1a and 16b a red stamp can be spotted, probably the mark of the owner who has not been identified so far. The original title on page 1a has a more general subtitle ("The smoke sacrifice for the mountain"), written beside it, the short title then is written out in Mongolian language but in Tibetan letters. The text is decipherable without difficulties. The instructions rendered to the prayers are written in smaller letters, these are going to be put ill now paragraphs in my transcription. The geographical names were later underlined probably by a fountain-pen.
