About this work

This is a long, narrow piece of yellowed paper with black ink writing. The text is packed tightly in rows, with some red lines marking the edges. There’s a small, odd hole near the center where the paper looks worn or torn. The writing is in a script that looks ancient and formal, like something from a very old book. The paper itself is fragile, with visible cracks and uneven edges. If you like old handwritten texts, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
