About this work

This is a piece of parchment with writing on it. The text is in an unknown language and is written in black ink with red accents. There are three red circles, one on each side and one in the middle. The text is written in a flowing script and appears to be a passage from a religious text. The red accents add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic piece. The parchment itself is yellowed and worn, giving it a sense of age and history. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Renaissance movement.
