About this work

This is a page of handwritten text in a script you might not recognize. The paper is light brown, with lines of black, red, and some blue ink. Three red circles mark the page, and the edges have a thin red border. The writing is packed tightly, filling almost every inch of the page. The text looks like it’s part of a longer book, possibly a religious or historical work. The script is detailed, with small lines and curves that make it hard to read without practice. This style of writing is called a *Kalpa-sutra*, and you can see more like it at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
