Cleveland Museum of Art

Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page. The page contains black text written in a foreign script on aged yellowed paper, with stains across the page. A thin red, yellow and blue border spans the edges. The text spans 19 lines and is separated into three sections in the middle of the page on lines 7-9. The text fills the entire page apart from a thin white border. The script is written in a language that appears to be Arabic or Persian. The page appears to be a text page from an illuminated manuscript.
