About this work

This image presents a wooden board featuring a text written in an unknown script. The text is divided into three sections, each separated by a hole in the center of the board. The script is written in black ink and appears to be a form of calligraphy. The text is densely packed, with each line closely following the one above it. The script is uniform in style, suggesting that it was written by a single person or using a specific technique. The use of a wooden board as a writing surface is unusual, and the script's style and language are not immediately recognizable. The Cleveland Museum of Art.
