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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a yellowed paper page with black text written in a non-Latin script. Vertical red lines run along the left and right sides. Two red circular marks are visible, one on the left and one on the right. The text fills most of the page, with the majority written in black ink. A small border of illegible text surrounds the main text area. The background behind the page is plain and off-white.
