Text, folio 170 (recto), 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, tan-colored piece of parchment or paper with black text. The parchment is oriented horizontally and has a rough, uneven edge on the top and bottom. There are two small holes in the center of the parchment, one on either side of the middle. The text is written in a language that appears to be an ancient script, possibly Sanskrit or another language from the same region. The text is arranged in lines, with each line containing many characters. The lines are grouped into three sections, separated by the holes. The background of the image is a plain beige color.
