Text, Folio 58 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

Text, Folio 58 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra by unknown artist. A page with black text written in a non-Latin script, likely in a language such as Sanskrit or Prakrit. The page has a beige background with a few darker spots. Three vertical red stripes run along the left, center and right side of the page. Three red circles are visible on the page; one on the left side near the edge, one in the center near the middle, and one on the right side near the edge. The text is arranged in lines, with some words or phrases in red ink. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or historical manuscript. The page appears slightly worn and aged.
