About this work

This looks like an old, narrow strip of paper with faded brown edges. The surface is covered in small, neat handwritten letters in a language I don’t recognize. There’s a tiny hole near the middle, like something poked through it long ago. The text seems carefully written, with some letters slightly darker than others, as if the ink faded over time. The paper looks thin and worn, with a few small creases running along it. If you’re curious about where to see this up close, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
