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

Cleveland Museum of Art

A yellowed, aged paper with a rectangular border displays black text in a foreign language, likely Arabic or Persian. The text is written in a script that appears to be calligraphic. The writing fills the majority of the page, leaving minimal white space. The background features dark spots, likely water stains.
