About this work

This is a page of handwritten text in a script that looks like it’s from an old book. The paper is light brown, with red borders and three red circles along the edge. The writing is black with some red highlights, packed tightly in rows. The page feels worn, like it’s been handled a lot over time. The text is part of a *Kalpa-sutra*, which is a religious or philosophical book. The script looks carefully formed, with some letters slightly larger or colored differently to mark important words. If you like this kind of writing, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more historical manuscripts.
