Page from the Prasnapradipa, a Hindu Astrology Text

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed, rectangular piece of paper with rough, uneven edges and two vertical lines on left and right sides. The paper has black text written in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari, covering most of the surface. The text is arranged in lines, with no discernible images or illustrations. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The overall appearance suggests an aged, possibly handmade paper. The text appears to be from a Hindu astrology text, specifically the Prasnapradipa.
