The entire Book of Haggai is written in two parallel parts on yellowish paper. Haggai 1 is written on the right side of the sheet, while Haggai 2 is written in the opposite direction with its first line at the bottom of the sheet. Both parts are written in averge-size (10mm) cursive and block letters in uneven but well-arranged, spacious lines. Haggai 1 is denser and smaller than Haggai 2, and tends to decline towards the bottom of the page. Haggai 1 is written in 22 lines. At the end of the fourth line the name of book/prophey appears in large, full, bold block letters along two lines (Haggai 1:3) "חגי" In the sixth line the Tzadi in the word "hosts" (Zevaot") is encicrled like the Tzadi that signifies army property (Haggai 1:5). In the same verse and line beside the word "your ways," a winding road is drawn.

At the end of line 15 the words "the high priest" (Haggai 1:12) are written in bold block letters. At line 17 the words "I am with you" are written in punctuated large cursive letters (Haggai 1:13).

The words "in the second year of Darius the king" (Haggai 1:15) at the end of line 21 and the begining of 22 are written in entwidened letters.

The first two lines are very short and the name of book/prophet is written in bold, full block letters (Haggai 2:1). At the end of the third line the words "the high priest" are written in bold block letters (Haggai 2:2). The words "The silver is mine and the gold is mine" (Haggai 2:8) are written in bold block letters in the middle of line 12. A golden dot is seen at the end of the line.
