Text, Folio 34 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

Text, Folio 34 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra by unknown artist. The image shows an aged, rectangular piece of paper with writing on it. The paper's background is beige with darker edges. The writing on the paper is in black ink, with one word written in red ink. The text is written in a language that appears to be Sanskrit, using Devanagari script. The text is arranged in lines that run horizontally across the page. There are two red vertical lines, one on the left edge and one on the right edge of the paper. In the center of the page, there is a red circle. There are additional marks and stains on the paper, including a darker red stain to the right of the circle and some fainter writing on the left side. The paper has a worn, aged appearance with visible signs of wear and tear.
