Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a page from an ancient manuscript titled "Seated Jina Rishabha Enshrined, from a Jain Manuscript: Kalpa-Sutra" by an unknown artist. The right side features a colored illustration of a seated figure. The figure is seated cross-legged on a throne with their hands resting on their lap. They have a serene facial expression and are adorned with multiple necklaces and a headdress. The figure appears to be meditating and is surrounded by a red archway with intricate designs and patterns. The left side of the page contains black and red text written in a non-Latin script, possibly Devanagari. The text is arranged in lines and accompanied by red and gold decorative elements. The background of the page is a light-brown color with visible signs of aging. The page is bordered by a red line on the left and right sides with decorative floral patterns.
