Cleveland Museum of Art

Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page. The image shows a yellowed, aged paper with a red border around the edges. The border consists of two thin lines; one thicker than the other. The page is filled with black, handwritten text in a language that appears to be Arabic script, likely Persian or Urdu, written in a flowing calligraphic style. The text is arranged in paragraphs with no images or illustrations. The paper has darker spots and discoloration throughout. The background of the image the page is on appears white.
