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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed page with black text written in a non-Latin script, likely an ancient manuscript. The page is rectangular with rounded corners and has a light brown color. There are two vertical red lines, one on the left and one on the right side of the page. Three red circular marks are present: one on the left side, one on the right side, and one in the middle. The text is written in black ink and appears to be in a language that uses Devanagari or a similar script. The text is arranged in lines, with some lines having more text than others. In the bottom-right corner, there is a small black number written. The background of the image is a plain beige color.
