Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular, aged, light-brown colored leaf or piece of wood. The leaf is long and narrow, and slightly uneven along the edges. Two small circular holes are present, one on the left side and one on the right. The surface features rows of small, intricate, curved writing in brown ink. Several red marks are scattered throughout, one resembling a circle or ring around the left hole. The background behind the leaf is a plain, off-white color. The leaf appears to be from a Buddhist manuscript, specifically the verso side.
