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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige-colored rectangular page with rounded corners, slightly darker along edges. Two vertical red lines run along left and right sides. Three red circles, one on left side, one on right side, and one on right edge. Black text written in a foreign language, possibly in a single block, occupying most of the page. Text appears to be written in rows, with some darker and some lighter, but legible. No images or illustrations.
