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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A long, horizontal rectangle with rounded corners and a beige background. Black text fills most of the rectangle, written in a non-Latin script. The text is arranged in lines, left-aligned, and written in a single column. Two thin, red vertical lines run along the left and right edges of the rectangle. Two red circles, one on the left and one on the right, are positioned on these lines. A small, black numeral "82" is printed in the bottom-right corner.
