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

Cleveland Museum of Art

A yellowed parchment page with a border on all sides. The border is a double-line design consisting of a thicker brown line on the outside and a thinner red line closer to the center. The majority of the page contains black cursive text written in a language that appears to be Arabic script. The text is arranged in 23 lines, with a larger header at the top. The header contains 2 lines of text. The background of the page has darker spots and fainter markings, resembling aging or water damage. A small section in the center appears discolored, with a yellowish hue.
