Zarrin Taj Khanum's settlement, 1881

Zarrin Taj Khanum's settlement, 1881

Zarrin Taj Khanum, the daughter of Nasr Allah Khan Qajar Sahib Ikhtiyar, has given the power of attorney to Husayn Bayg for a transaction with Haj ʻAli Aqa the merchant, the son of ʻAbd al-Karim Taj, regarding a property in the Surkhab neighborhood, which is an inherited land from Zarrin Taj Khanum’s father, in exchange for eighty four tumans. On the margin, Hasanquli Khan has been identified as his mother’s guarantor. Since the measurement of the area is smaller than originally assumed, the price has also been adjusted to sixty-four tumans and seven thousand five hundred dinars. Note on verso: “the contract of the Muhammadiyah Ismaʻil building from Haj ʻAli Aqa.”
