unspecified
From the collection of Detroit Institute of Arts
Kalpa Sutra is an unspecified by Unknown, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
This painting is a page from the Kalpa Sutra, an ancient Jain text. The page is written in an unknown script, with black ink on a beige background. There are red and yellow accents throughout, as well as some blue designs along the edges. The script is densely packed, with little space between the lines. The red and yellow accents add a pop of color to the page, while the blue designs along the edges provide a sense of framing. The Kalpa Sutra is a sacred text in Jainism, and this page is likely a fragment of a larger manuscript.
