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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed page with black and red text written in a language that uses non-Latin script. The page is rectangular with rough, uneven edges. There are two vertical red lines running down the left and right sides. Three red circles are present on the page, one on the left side, one on the right side, and one in the middle. The text on the page is written in black ink, with some words or phrases highlighted in red ink. The text fills most of the page except for a small blank area at the bottom. The background of the image behind the page is a plain beige color.
