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

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown parchment with black and gold text written in Arabic script. Text fills most of the page, with a border around the edges. The border consists of two thin lines, one blue and one red, with a thicker gold line in between. The text is written in black ink, with some gold accents along the top. The background of the parchment is a light brown color, with darker brown spots and discoloration throughout. The text is arranged in lines, with some lines having more text than others. The overall appearance is that of an old, worn manuscript. The title of the work is "Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama)". The artist is unknown.
