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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige-colored rectangular page with rounded corners, featuring black text written in a non-Latin script. The text is arranged in lines, filling most of the page. Two red vertical lines run along the left and right edges of the page. Three red circles are present: one on the left edge, one on the right edge, and one near the center-right. The page has signs of aging, including darker spots and discoloration. A thin line of smaller text is at the bottom. The background behind the page is plain and light-colored.
