Cleveland Museum of Art

Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page. The image shows a piece of aged paper with writing in a language that appears to be Arabic script. The paper has a light-brown color with darker brown spots and lines throughout. The writing is black and takes up most of the page, with some red marks scattered throughout. The text is written in a flowing script and appears to be in a single column. The page has a thin border around the edges, with two thicker lines on the right and bottom sides. The lines are red, green, and gold in color. The overall appearance of the page suggests that it is an old, possibly hand-written manuscript. The text runs along the page in 23 lines with a line space between the 16th and 17th lines.
