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

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from "Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama)" by an unknown artist. The page is filled with black text written in a foreign language, possibly Arabic or Persian, on yellowed paper with a brown border around the edges. The text is arranged in lines, with some words written in blue ink. The background of the page is a light-brown color with darker brown spots and stains. There are two thin red lines that form a border around the page, one on the inside and one on the outside. The overall appearance suggests an aged manuscript.
