Text, Folio 6 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra

Cleveland Museum of Art

Beige-colored rectangular page with red vertical lines on the left and right sides, and three red circles, one on the left side, one in the center, and one on the right side. The page is filled with black text written in an ancient language, possibly Sanskrit, in a script that appears to be Devanagari. The text is arranged in lines, with some words or phrases separated by small dots. The page has a worn and aged appearance, with some discoloration and staining visible. The page appears to be a folio from an ancient manuscript, specifically the Kalpa-sutra, with the text written on the verso side, denoted by the label "6".
