Folio from a Kalpa-sutra and Story of Kalakacharya of Devachandra: Text (recto); Brahmanshanti Yaksha (verso)
Two long, rectangular pieces of old, light-brown paper with black writing in an ancient language. The top piece has a hole in the middle and faint red lines on either side. The bottom piece has a similar layout but with a colored illustration on the right side. The illustration depicts a figure with a halo, surrounded by a red background with gold accents, holding objects. The figure has a crown and sits on a throne-like structure. The image shows the recto and verso sides of two pages from an ancient manuscript.
