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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of aged paper with a light-brown color. The paper contains black text written in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari, arranged in lines that run horizontally across the page. Two red vertical lines are on the left and right sides of the page. There are two red circles, one on the left side and one on the right side, each near the edge of the paper. A faded red circle is in the middle of the page. The background of the image is beige.
