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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged manuscript page with a thin red border around the edges. The border encloses black, handwritten text in a non-Latin script, likely Arabic or Persian. A thicker red line separates the border from the rest of the page on the left side. The left margin contains a few lines of text written at a 90-degree angle. The background of the manuscript is a yellowish-beige color with darker areas and spots scattered throughout, suggesting aging. A white background is visible behind the left margin of the manuscript. The text and layout suggest a page from a historical or literary work written in a language that uses a non-Latin alphabet. The title of this piece is "Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page" by an unknown artist.
