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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged paper with black text written in a language that appears to be Arabic or Persian script. The text fills two columns that extend from the top to the bottom of the image. The text is written in a flowing, cursive style. A thin red line borders the left and right sides of the image. The paper is slightly darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. There are darker spots and discoloration throughout. The image appears to be a page from an old book.
