Parshva Undergoes Physical Trials, Folio 46 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra
The image shows an illustrated page from a book, likely an ancient manuscript. The page is off-white with a vertical red line on the left side and a red border on the right side. The right side of the page features a colorful illustration of a person with a large headdress, wearing a necklace and holding objects in both hands. The person is surrounded by a red background with gold and blue designs. The left side of the page contains black text in a foreign language, possibly Sanskrit, with some red text. A red circle is positioned near the center of the page, and there are some small black marks and stains throughout. The overall appearance suggests an aged, handmade document. The illustration depicts Parshva undergoing physical trials. The artwork style is characteristic of a Kalpa-sutra folio.
