Text, Folio 5 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

Text, Folio 5 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra. The image shows a yellowed, aged rectangular piece of paper with writing on it. The writing is in black ink and appears to be in an ancient language. The text is arranged in lines, with some words or phrases highlighted in red ink. There are three red circular marks on the page, one on the left side, one in the center, and one on the right side. The paper has a rough texture and appears to be old and worn. The edges of the paper are rough and uneven. The background of the image is plain white. The image appears to be a scan or photograph of an ancient manuscript. The manuscript is bound on the left and right sides with a thin red line. The overall appearance suggests that it is an ancient text, possibly from India.
