Text, folio 37 (verso) from a Gandavyuha-sutra (Scripture of the Supreme Array)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Long, rectangular piece of light-brown material, possibly parchment or paper, with rough edges and small holes. The material contains lines of black text written in a non-Latin script, likely an ancient language, with the text arranged in multiple lines that run horizontally across the material. The text appears to be written in a formal or decorative style, with some marks or symbols scattered throughout. The background behind the material is plain and off-white. The image presents a single side of the material, specifically the verso, or back, side, labeled as folio 37. The text is part of a scripture, specifically the Scripture of the Supreme Array.
