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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a page from a book with a light-brown background and rounded corners. The page contains black text written in a non-Latin script, likely an ancient language, arranged in lines that span the width of the page. There are two red vertical lines, one on the left and one on the right side of the page. Two red circles are present, one on the left and one on the right side, each positioned near the respective red vertical line. A small number "62" is written in black at the bottom right corner of the page. The page appears aged, with a slightly darker brown hue around the edges. The background behind the page is plain and off-white.
