About this work

This image shows a page from an ancient manuscript, written in a language that looks like Sanskrit. The text is in black ink, with red lines and markings throughout. The page is yellowed and worn, with visible signs of aging. The text is densely packed, with no illustrations or images. The red lines and markings add a pop of color to the page, and suggest that the manuscript may have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes. The Detroit Institute of Arts is home to many religious manuscripts like this one, and is a great place to learn more about the history and significance of this type of artwork.
