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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from a book written in Arabic script, likely from the Mughal or Persian tradition. The page is yellowed with age and has a brown border around the edges. The text is written in black ink and consists of 22 lines of calligraphy. The script appears to be a style of Nasta'liq, which was commonly used in Persian and Urdu manuscripts. The text is densely packed, with no illustrations or images on the page. The background of the page is a light-brown color, with darker brown spots and discoloration throughout, suggesting age and wear. A small inscription appears in the top-right corner. The overall appearance suggests an antique or historical manuscript. Title: Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page. Artist unknown.
