Text, Folio 4 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed parchment with frayed edges and red markings. The parchment contains a large amount of black text written in a non-Latin script, with some words or phrases highlighted in red ink. Two vertical red lines run down the left and right sides of the parchment. A red circle is centered on the parchment, halfway down. The background of the image is off-white. The text is arranged in lines, filling the majority of the parchment. The parchment appears aged, with visible signs of wear. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or historical document. The text, folio 4 (recto), is from a Kalpa-sutra.
