Cleveland Museum of Art

Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page. The image shows a page of handwritten text in a foreign language, likely Arabic or Persian, on aged paper with a light-brown color and darker brown edges. The text is written in black ink. The script is cursive and ornate, with intricate flourishes and decorations. The text fills most of the page. There is a thin border around the edge of the page, consisting of two lines: one dark and one light. The overall appearance suggests an illuminated manuscript from the Islamic Golden Age. The page is rectangular. The image is in a portrait orientation.
