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 non-Latin script, likely Persian or Arabic. The text is arranged in lines that run horizontally across the page. The page has a light-brown background with darker brown spots and stains throughout. The edges of the page are worn and have a darker brown border around them. The border consists of two lines, one close to the edge and one further in, with a small gap in between. The overall appearance of the page suggests that it is an old, possibly hand-written manuscript. The text takes up most of the page, leaving little to no empty space. The image does not contain any images or illustrations, only text. The page appears to be yellowed with age and has signs of wear and tear.
