The Monk Gautama, Enthroned: Folio 2 (recto), from a Kalpa-sutra and Story of Kalakacharya of Devachandra

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, yellowed piece of parchment with black text written on it. The parchment is divided into sections by red lines. On the right side of the parchment, there is a colorful illustration of a person sitting cross-legged on a throne-like chair. The person has a halo around their head and is wearing a red robe. The background of the illustration is red, and there are some green and white designs around the person. The rest of the parchment is filled with black text written in a language that appears to be Sanskrit. The parchment has a rough, aged appearance, with some tears and fraying along the edges.
