About this work

This image shows a long, narrow piece of paper with text written on it. The text is in a foreign language and is written in rows, with some rows having more text than others. The paper is a light brown color and has a rough edge on the left side. The text is written in a dark brown ink and is quite dense, with little space between the rows. There are some small marks and symbols scattered throughout the text, but they are not easily decipherable. The overall effect is one of intricate detail and careful craftsmanship. If you're interested in learning more about this piece, you might want to look up The Cleveland Museum of Art, which holds this manuscript.
