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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged manuscript page with Arabic script. The page has a rectangular shape with a thin, double-line border on all sides, consisting of a thin red line on the outside and a slightly thicker red line on the inside. The text is written in black ink and fills most of the page, leaving a small margin around the edges. The text is arranged in 22 lines, with the top 19 lines containing the main body of text in a consistent font and line spacing. The bottom three lines are separated from the rest and appear to be a note or signature. A blue signature or seal is visible near the bottom-left corner. The background of the page is a light-brown color with darker brown spots and discoloration throughout, indicating age.
