Text, Folio 10 (verso), from a Kalpa-sutra is a 1488 unspecified by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a folio from a Kalpa-sutra, an ancient Jain religious text. The image is a page of text written in a foreign script, likely an Indian language. The text is written in black ink with red accents and is divided into two columns. There are red circles on either side of the text, and the page has a yellowed, aged appearance. The text is densely packed, with no illustrations or other visual elements. The red accents add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic page. The yellowed paper gives the impression of age and wear. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this folio, which is a rare example of Jain religious art from the 15th century.
