Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (recto)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, thin, light brown leaf with writing on it. The leaf is horizontal and has rounded edges. There are two holes, one on the left and one on the right, both with red circles around them. The leaf's surface features numerous lines of small, dark brown text written in a script that appears to be in an Asian language. The background of the image is a solid beige color. The image is titled "Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (recto)" and is attributed to an unknown artist. The object appears to be made of a material that could be a type of palm leaf or similar plant material. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or historical document.
