About this work

The image shows a long, narrow, rectangular piece of paper with three sections of text. The text is written in a foreign language and is arranged in horizontal lines. The paper is a light brown color and has a rough, uneven edge on the left side. The text is written in a small, uniform script, and each section is separated by a small gap. The paper appears to be old and worn, with some creases and tears visible. The background of the image is a plain gray color. This piece is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
