"The text... is penned in brownish-black ink, with vowels, sukun and shadda marked in red and hamzat al-qat‘ marked with a yellow dot."
Remarks
The primary text of West African manuscripts is typically written in this brownish-black ink (p. 62). The script style is the 'Sudani' subtype of Maghribi, characterized by heavy, thick, and black strokes achieved using a flat-slat reed pen (p. 60-61).
