Fol. 3a displays eight medallions chronologically read from right to left, of which six are filled with paintings while the other two simply include names. On the far right, a medallion with Adam and Eve marks the beginning of the genealogy, and four lines extend from their image to four other medallions. The two figures in three-quarter profile are kneeling before a stream, facing each other within a green landscape with trees and a golden sky: interestingly, Adam and Eve are both fully clad in blue and pink, respectively. Adam has a fiery aureole, while Eve a round halo, denoting a sense of hierarchy between the two. Adam has his hands raised while Eve has hers crossed in front of her body. Above her, a fiery cloud of light extends its rays towards Adam, perhaps signifying the Godly presence. The highest line extending from Adam and Eves’ medallion leads to a painting of their son, 'Abdalharit, clad in light brown and seated in a cross-legged manner in a green landscape. His youthful face is framed by long brown hair. Underneath him, the following medallion reveals the half-figure portrait of Nabi Shith (Seth), a bearded prophet, with a golden-flame halo. At the very bottom, Habil Maqtul (Abel) is shown kneeling on a green ground, inclining his head, and having his right hand slightly raised with his palm turned upwards. His brother Qabil Qatil (Cain), in contrast, is shown to the left of Habils’ medallion, kneeling before a burning altar of sacrifice with his hands raised. His purple robe contrasts with the grey skin colour on his youthful, beardless face, perhaps a reflection of his prior bad deeds. In the left corner, the painting depicts Kayumarth (Gayumars), the first Persian ruler who introduced the furrier craft; hence, he has a lion-skin cape draped over his silver armour. He appears to be in a more dynamic position – potentially running – and holds an attribute, a battle axe, in his right hand.

Following the genealogy on fol. 5a from right to left, multiple medallions containing a portrait or a name are included. The first medallion on the top right features Zahhak Mari, a legendary Persian ruler – indicated by the golden crown with elaborate decoration and luxurious garments in green with a fur-lined red vest – with two serpents extending from his shoulders, as seen here in this image. Following the lines connected to him, on the far left is Faridun Farrukh, another legendary Persian ruler who defeated Zahhak. In contrast to the bearded Zahhak, Faridun is shown as a youthful king with a similarly elaborate crown and the same style of dress, of which only the colours were inverted. Following a different genealogical line on the right, Nuh (Noah) is depicted as the ancestor of the Turks in a half-figure portrait with the arc as his attribute in the background. He is shown as an elderly man with white hair, a turban, and a flaming aureole, having his hands slightly raised as if in conversation, or in referral with his ancestors. On the line connecting Nuh and Faridun, a figure named Bulajas (Abulja Khan, Uljay or Bulja) is depicted. He is the son of Japheth (Yafath), the ancestor of the Oghuz Turks, and wears a fur-trimmed red cap. On the central line extending from Nuh, the portrait of Sam (Shem), Nuh’s son, follows. He has a youthful appearance, clad in a pink robe and wearing a cap with a white band. Sam’s son Arfahshad is depicted next, as a bearded man with a green fur-lined cap and a purple robe. To his left is Sha'ikh (Shabikh), Sam’s great-grandson, who is depicted in a similar manner. To the far left, Hud (Heber) is shown, who was an Arab prophet. As such, a flaming aureole is indicated around his turban.

Fol. 13a depicts eight medallions with portraits, together with multiple name-roundels. At the top, Sevinj Khan, a Turkish ancestor, is shown with a fur-trimmed blue cap and three feathers. To his left, Toghrul Khan, a legendary Turkish ancestor, is depicted wearing a fur-trimmed yellow cap with a hat ornament. Underneath them, in a slightly bigger roundel, Iskandar Zu'l-qarnayn Rumi (Alexander the Great) is shown. He dons a particularly splendid crown, an elaborate multi-layered robe and holds a sabre in his raised left hand. To the left, the prophet Zakariyya (Zacharias), clad in a blue robe and red shawl, is depicted with a flaming halo around his turban. He is facing the figure to the left, Yahya (John the Baptist): this prophet also has a fiery aureole around his turban. Underneath him, Maryam (Mary) is shown with an exposed breast, nursing the baby Jesus, both bearing flaming aureoles. She wears an orange veil, a blue robe, and a pearl necklace, while the child is wrapped in a white cloth. At the bottom, two men are shown: Fihr, the progenitor of the tribe of the Quraysh on the right, and a person named Ghalib in a purple robe, facing the other man.

On fol. 17a, the upper section with blue name-medallions is distinguished from the bottom section which is written in red. At the very top, two Turkish ancestors are portrayed: Qara Bugha Khan is shown wearing a fur-trimmed red cap on the right, while Qumri Khan on the left dons a similarly fur-trimmed blue cap. In the red section, a row of four men in larger medallions are depicted, starting with the Prophet Muhammad on the right. He wears a black turban with a fiery halo around it, and his face is covered by a green veil. His portrait is completely encircled by golden flames extending from the medallion. He is turned towards the men to the left who face the Prophet Muhammad. These three portraits represent Abu Bakr, 'Umar/'Omar, and 'Uthman/'Osman. They are all depicted in a similar manner but with alternating colours of their cap, their garments, and their beard.

Fol. 33a features two large medallions, namely that of Suleyman I Qanuni, who was the Ottoman Sultan from 926 AH / 1520 AD to 974 AH / 1566 AD, who has a grey-white beard, and wears a richly decorated high white turban and an elaborate ermine fur collar over a blue coat. To his left, Selim II is depicted, who was the Ottoman Sultan from 974 AH / 1566 AD to 832 AH / 1574 AD. He has a short brown beard, a similarly decorated high white turban, and a fur-trimmed green cloak.

On fol. 36a, two large medallions portray the two last ruling sultans before the genealogy was completed. On the right, Mehmed IV, Ottoman Sultan from 1058 AH / 1648 AD to 1099 AH / 1687 AD, wears a low white turban decorated with black feathers and a green cap that both match with his luxurious garments. Interestingly, his face is modelled in an expressive and naturalistic manner with a greyish-pink skin colour. The area underneath the eyes is accentuated with deep wrinkles. To the left, Suleyman II, Ottoman Sultan from 1099 AH / 1687 AD to 1102 AH / 1691 AD, also has naturalistically executed features on a pale greyish face. The white turban under a green cap with feather decoration as well as the elaborate garments are similar to those of his predecessor. The detailed execution of these sultans’ facial features may reveal that the painter had direct models at his disposal, or that he wanted to visually comment on the rulers of the immediate past.
