Leaf from a Kalpa Sutra (Jain Book of Rituals)

Bhadrabahu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A long, old, yellowed rectangular piece of parchment with writing on it. The writing is in a language that is not English. Two thin red vertical lines run down the left and right edges. The writing takes up most of the parchment except for a circular red symbol centered. The parchment looks old and worn with visible discoloration.
