Page from the Prasnapradipa, a Hindu Astrology Text

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed, rectangular paper with rough edges and two vertical lines on left and right sides. The paper is slightly curved at the top and bottom. Black text written in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari, is densely packed across the page in multiple lines. The text is written in a formal, cursive style and appears to be in an ancient language. The paper has a few dark spots and stains, particularly on the right side. The background behind the paper is a solid gray color.
