Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is from "Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama)". The page consists of written text in a language that appears to be Arabic script, likely Farsi or Persian, on yellowed paper. The text fills the page in a single column, occupying most of the area. The script is black, with some visible signs of aging such as darker spots, and a brown tape repair on the bottom edge. The text lines run horizontally across the page, with no images or illustrations present. The background of the page is a light brown color with darker brown spots and a double border around the edges. The borders are composed of thin red and black lines.
