Page from a Dispersed Kalpa Sutra (Jain Book of Rituals)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige-colored page with rounded corners and rough edges. The page has a vertical red line on the left and right sides. Three red circular marks are present, one on the left side, one in the center, and one on the right side. The text is written in black ink and appears to be in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari. The text is arranged in lines that run horizontally across the page. A number "205" is written in black ink at the bottom right corner of the page. The background of the image is a plain beige color.
