Monk Teaching Lay Disciple: Colophon page from a Kalpa-sutra and Story of Kalakacharya of Devachandra

Cleveland Museum of Art

A horizontal, aged manuscript page made of brown paper or parchment. The manuscript's top half contains three sections divided by red lines. The left section has a red vertical line with black symbols on the left edge, and black text fills the rest. The center section contains black text. The right section contains a drawing outlined in red ink. The drawing depicts a seated figure wearing a white robe. A second figure, wearing a pink robe and holding a book or manuscript, stands to the right. The bottom half of the manuscript is blank. The background behind the manuscript is white. The text throughout the manuscript appears to be written in an ancient language. The image likely represents a scene from Devachandra's "Monk Teaching Lay Disciple: Colophon page from a Kalpa-sutra and Story of Kalakacharya".
