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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige-colored rectangular page with slightly rounded corners. Black text written in a non-Latin script, possibly Devanagari, fills most of the page. The text is arranged in lines from top to bottom, left to right. Two thin, red vertical lines run down the page, one on the left and one on the right. The lines are evenly spaced from the edges of the page. Two red circles, one on the left and one on the right, are positioned on the vertical lines. The circles are centered vertically on the page. A small black number "64" in the bottom-right corner. The background behind the page is plain and beige-colored.
