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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige-colored rectangular page with curved corners and wavy edges. Black text written in a non-Latin script, possibly Devanagari, fills most of the page. The text is arranged in lines, with some lines having more text than others. Two thin red vertical lines run down the left and right sides of the page. Three red circular marks are present on the page: one on the left red line, one in the center, and one on the right red line. The background of the image is a plain beige color, and a small number "37" is visible in the bottom-right corner.
