Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of light-brown material, possibly wood or palm leaf, with uneven edges. Two holes are present, one on the left side and one on the right side, both circular and roughly in the center of the piece. The surface features numerous lines of small, intricate black writing. Red marks are scattered throughout, some appearing as small dots or short lines. The background of the image is a plain light color. The text is arranged in horizontal lines, with the writing and marks appearing to be some form of ancient script. The overall appearance suggests an aged, possibly historical, document or manuscript, specifically "Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (verso)" by an unknown artist.
