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

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan page with black text in a foreign language, likely Arabic or Farsi, written in a script that appears to be calligraphy. The page has a thin double border around the edges. The borders are red and blue on the outside and a single line in red on the inside. The text is arranged in 23 lines and is written in a formal, cursive script. The page appears to be yellowed with age and has some darker spots and discoloration throughout. The background of the page is a light brown color. The text fills most of the page leaving little to no white space. The overall appearance suggests an old, possibly hand-written manuscript. The title of the manuscript is "Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page" and it is by an unknown artist.
