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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from "Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama)" by an unknown artist. The page is filled with black text written in a language that appears to be Arabic or Persian script. The text fills the entire page, with no images or illustrations visible. The background of the page is a light brown color with darker brown spots throughout. The text lines are arranged in a consistent format, with a line of text at the top and then 17 lines of text below. The page has a thin gold border around the edges, with a thicker gold line on the inside. The overall appearance suggests an aged, yellowed parchment or paper. The image presents a simple, yet elegant, design with a focus on the written text.
