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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from "Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama)" with text written in black ink on yellowed parchment. The text fills the page in 17 lines of black calligraphy. A thin double-lined red border surrounds the text. The border consists of two very thin lines with a thicker line between them and a small gap between the inner and outer borders. The top and bottom borders are slightly thicker than the left and right borders. The page shows signs of aging, with darker spots and lighter patches throughout.
