Text of Rustam and Suhrab, from the Shah-nama of Firdausi (Persian, c. 934–1020) (recto)

The image shows a page from an old book with writing in a non-Latin script. The page is rectangular and divided into nine vertical sections by thin yellow lines. The sections contain black writing in a language that appears to be Arabic or Persian. The text is written in a flowing script and is densely packed within each section. A red and gold highlighted section of text is at the bottom center. The page has a brown border around the edges, with a thin black line separating the border from the rest of the page. The background of the page is a yellowed, aged paper color. There are some darker brown spots and marks on the page, giving it an aged appearance. A small piece of tape is stuck to the page. The page appears to be old and worn, with signs of aging and use.
