About this work

This image shows a long, narrow piece of wood with three sections of text. The text is written in a foreign language and is divided into three sections, each with a hole in the middle. The wood is a light brown color with darker edges. The text appears to be some sort of manuscript or document, but it's unclear what it says or what it's about. The holes in the middle of each section suggest that it may have been bound together with other pages at some point. If you're interested in learning more about this piece, you might want to look up the museum where it's held, The Cleveland Museum of Art.
