About this work

This is a long, narrow piece of paper with text written on it in a foreign language. The text is divided into three sections, each with a different number of lines. The top and bottom sections have fewer lines than the middle section. The text is written in a dark brown ink that is slightly faded in some areas. The paper itself is a light brown color and appears to be handmade. It has a rough texture and is slightly torn along the edges. There are two small holes in the paper, one near the top and one near the bottom. This text is part of a larger manuscript that is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
