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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged manuscript page with Arabic script. The page is rectangular with a thin border featuring red and gold lines on the inside. The text within the border is divided into sections; a larger block of text fills most of the page and a smaller block of text is at the top with a line underneath it. Under the line are two side-by-side text boxes; the box on the left has more text than the box on the right. The text throughout the page is written in black ink and appears to be in a medieval or calligraphic style. There are water stains present on the page. The background of the page is yellowed with age and has signs of wear and tear. The overall appearance suggests an ancient manuscript. The title of this piece is "Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page" by an unknown artist.
