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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Page with a beige background and darker-beige border, featuring black text in a non-Latin script. The text is arranged in lines from top to bottom and left to right. A thin red line runs vertically along the left and right edges. Three red circles are present: one on the left edge, one in the center, and one on the right edge. The circle on the right edge is partially overlapping a small black symbol. The right edge of the page appears rough and torn.
