A miniature illustrated scroll of the Bhagvadgita, from the Bhisma-parva of the Mahabharata, with 22 illuminations. inside round and ovular cartouches framed in gold, across the length of the scroll.

The four illustrations that open the manuscript, appearing above the beginning of the text, are identical to those at the opening of Or Ms 675, a miniature illustrated scroll of the Devi-Mahatmya. This,and the general similarity between the two scrolls in terms of dimensions, composition and decoration, indicates that they may well have been produced in the same location, possibly the same atelier, and at the same time.

The present scroll is dated 1876 according to the Hindu Vikram Samvat calendar, corresponding to 1819-1820 C.E..
