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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Page with a light-brown background, slightly rounded corners. Black text written in a foreign script, possibly Devanagari, fills most of the page. Three red circles, one on the left side, one in the middle, and one on the right side. Two thin red vertical lines run along the left and right edges of the page. Small black number '32' in the bottom-right corner. The page appears to be made of aged paper or parchment. The text is arranged in lines, covering most of the page area.
