Page from the Prasnapradipa, a Hindu Astrology Text

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed, rectangular piece of paper with rough, uneven edges and two vertical creases. The paper has black text written in a foreign language, possibly Devanagari script, covering most of the surface. The text is arranged in lines, with the top and bottom lines cut off at the edge of the paper. There are two vertical black lines, one on each side, possibly indicating a binding or fold. The background behind the paper is a solid gray color. The text appears to be from an ancient Hindu astrology text, specifically the Prasnapradipa.
