Folio from a Buddhist Manuscript of Pancavimsatisahasrika Prajnaparamita

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Long, narrow, tan-colored piece of paper with three holes and frayed edges. The paper is divided into three sections by two small round holes. Each section contains many lines of small, black text written in a language that appears to be an ancient script. The text is arranged in dense rows, covering most of the paper's surface. The paper's surface is slightly curved, and its edges are rough and uneven. The background behind the paper is a plain, off-white color. Title: "Folio from a Buddhist Manuscript of Pancavimsatisahasrika Prajnaparamita", Artist unknown.
