Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (recto)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of light-brown material, possibly a leaf, with rough, uneven edges. The leaf has two small holes, one near the center and one to the right, both circular and white. The surface features numerous lines of small, dark-brown script written in a flowing, cursive style. There are several red marks scattered across the surface, some appearing as small dots, others as short strokes. The background of the image is a plain, off-white color. The text on the leaf appears to be from a Buddhist manuscript, as indicated by the title "Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (recto)".
