The Twenty Tirthankaras: Folio from a Kalpasutra Manuscript
The image shows a worn, aged manuscript page. The page is divided into three sections by two vertical lines. The left and right sections are identical, each featuring two columns of four small, intricately designed illustrations. Each illustration depicts a figure with a distinctive hairstyle, wearing a simple necklace. The illustrations are set against a red background with blue and gold accents. A blue border surrounds each column, with a red border outside the blue one. The central section contains black text written in a non-Latin script, with a large red circle above and below the text. The page has a light brown color and appears to be made of aged paper. There are red circles on either side of the page and a handwritten number in the bottom-right corner.
