Text, Folio 119 (verso), from a Manuscript of the Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines (Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita-sutra)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Long, narrow, rectangular piece of light brown material, possibly parchment or paper, with rough edges and two small circular holes. The material has black writing on it, arranged in lines of text that run horizontally across the page. There are three sections of text, separated by the holes. The text appears to be written in an ancient language, possibly Sanskrit. The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The text and material appear old, with signs of wear and tear.
