Mahavira's Omniscience and First Teaching (Samavasarana), Folio 39 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra

A rectangular piece of aged paper with written text and an illustrated panel. The paper is off-white with darker edges. A red vertical line runs along the left and right sides. Three red circles are present, one on the far left, one on the far right, and one in the center. The left side of the paper contains a large block of black text written in a non-Latin script, likely in multiple columns. The right side of the paper features a red and gold illustrated panel. The panel depicts a circular gold design with a figure sitting in the center. The figure is surrounded by geometric patterns and shapes. The figure appears to be wearing a crown and has their hands in a prayer-like position. The background behind the paper is gray.
