Text, folio 13 (recto) from a Kammavacha: Buddhist ordination text

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular, gold-colored object with intricate designs and black text. The object is long and narrow, with a golden background with a pattern of swirling lines and shapes. The text is written in black and appears to be in a non-Latin script. The text covers most of the surface, with no visible images or illustrations. The background of the image is a plain beige color. The object appears to be a Buddhist ordination text, specifically a Kammavacha, which is a type of Buddhist ritual text. The text is likely written in the Pali language, which is a liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism. The overall design and layout suggest a formal and sacred document. The object is likely on display against a wall.
