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

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown parchment page with black ink writing in an Arabic script. Text fills most of the page, written in lines that run horizontally across the page. The lines are not perfectly straight. A darker brown border surrounds the page, with a thinner red line on the inside and a thicker brown line on the outside. The page is shown with the right edge and a portion of the top edge. Small dark stains are scattered across the page. A thicker band of text appears across the bottom with a larger gap between it and the text above.
