Folio 2 from a Parshvanatha Charitra (Life and Stories of Lord Parshva) of Bhavadeva-suri: Monk preaching to a disciple with a lay audience (recto); Text (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two pieces of aged, torn, and unevenly cut paper with text written in black ink. The top piece of paper has a red and gold illustration on the right side depicting a seated figure in white clothing with a halo, holding an object, with another figure seated opposite. The illustration is bordered in red. The bottom piece of paper has two red squares with images inside. All sides of both papers have black text written in a language that appears to be an ancient script. The papers have holes in the center and are set against a light gray background.
