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

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan-colored aged paper with darker tan stains and tears. Bordered by thin red and blue lines. Arabic script fills the page in black ink. A header across the top spans the width with a thin border; a small rectangle on the left and larger on the right. A rectangular block of text filling most of the page, three lines at top and then six below. A box spans the bottom with writing slanted along two chevrons pointing inward. The bottom of the chevrons nearly touch and their top angles meet the bottom of the block of text above.
