Text, folio 61 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed, rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners and rough edges. The paper displays a central block of black text in an ancient script, with some red text and a red circular seal. The central block of text consists of multiple lines, divided into sections by red vertical lines on the left and right sides. The majority of the text on the page is black; some text and the seal are red. The background of the paper is a uniform yellow color. The paper appears aged and worn. The image shows writing in a language that appears to be Sanskrit.
