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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from a book written in Arabic calligraphy. The page has a beige background with a thin red border and a thicker red border around the edges. The text is written in black ink and appears to be in a style of calligraphy known as Nasta'liq script. The text is arranged in lines from top to bottom, with some lines having more text than others. The page appears to be yellowed with age and has some darker spots and discoloration throughout. The overall appearance suggests that this is an old manuscript or a reproduction of one.
