About this work

This page is packed with small, black text in neat rows, written in a script that looks like it’s from another time. Two red circles sit near the center, like stamps or seals. The paper has a yellowish tint, and some edges show wear, as if it’s been handled a lot. The text is arranged carefully, with red lines marking the margins. The circles might be symbols or signatures—maybe they mark important parts of the writing. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more pages like this.
