Text, Folio 38 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged manuscript page with text written in black ink. The page is rectangular and has a red vertical line on the left and right sides. The text is written in a non-Latin script, possibly Devanagari, and is arranged in lines that run horizontally across the page. The text is dense and fills most of the page, with some lines extending to the edges. A large red circular seal or stamp is visible in the center of the page. The background of the image is a plain gray color, suggesting that the page is being displayed against a neutral backdrop. The overall appearance of the image suggests that it is a historical or cultural artifact, possibly from ancient India.
