Transfer of the Embryo of Mahavira, Folio 12 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra
An open book with yellowed pages and black text on the left and an intricate illustration on the right. The text on the left fills most of the page and appears to be written in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari. A thin red line runs vertically along the left edge of the page. A red circle is positioned near the center. The right page features a red border around its edges and a large illustration divided into two sections. The top section depicts a scene with several figures, a person on a white elephant with a long curved tusk, surrounded by other individuals. The bottom section shows a similar scene with figures, but with notable differences. The illustrations are rendered in gold, blue, and red hues.
