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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged page with wavy edges. The page contains black text written in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari, and is divided into sections by thin red lines. Three large red circular marks are visible on the page: one on the left edge, one in the middle, and one on the right edge. The text is arranged in lines, with some lines containing more text than others. The page has a light beige background.
