Text, Folio 45 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

A yellowed, aged rectangular paper with a central section containing text in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari, written in black ink. The text is densely packed and appears to be in a formal or traditional style. Two red vertical lines run along the left and right edges, with a red circle positioned near the top left, top right, and bottom is not present; however a fourth is not visible but a indication of possible stain at bottom. The paper exhibits signs of aging, including brown spots and discoloration. A faint line of text or a border is visible at the bottom. The background behind the paper is solid white.
