Text, folio 156 (verso), from a Manuscript of the Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines (Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita-sutra)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, rectangular piece of aged parchment or paper. The parchment has rough, uneven edges and a light brown color, with darker areas indicating wear and tear. There are two small holes in the center of the parchment, aligned vertically. The parchment contains black text written in a non-Latin script, likely in a language such as Sanskrit or another ancient language. The text is densely packed into multiple lines that run horizontally across the parchment. The background of the image is a plain beige color, providing a neutral contrast to the aged parchment and black text.
