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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from the book "Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama)" by an unknown artist. The page is filled with black text written in a foreign language, likely Arabic or Persian, in a flowing script. The text is arranged in paragraphs and is written in a single column down the center of the page. There are decorative lines at the top and bottom of the page, and a thin red and gold border around the edges. The background of the page is a light brown color, with some darker brown spots and discoloration throughout. The overall appearance of the page suggests that it is an old, handwritten manuscript.
