About this work

This page is packed with small, black letters in neat rows. Some words are underlined in red, and the edges of the page have red borders. In the middle, there’s a single bright red circle. The paper looks old and slightly yellowed, with faint marks where it’s been folded or handled. The red circle stands out against the dark text—it might mark an important symbol or break in the writing. This kind of book was likely used for teaching or rituals. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
