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

Cleveland Museum of Art

A page from a book written in an Arabic script, with black ink on yellowed paper. The text is written in a flowing calligraphic style, with intricate lettering and diacritical marks. The page has a thin border around the edges, with a double line in orange-brown ink. The paper has visible signs of aging, including darker spots and discoloration. The text fills the entire page, with no images or illustrations. The overall appearance suggests an aged manuscript.
