About this work

The image shows a long, narrow piece of paper with text written on it. The text is in a foreign language and is written in rows. The paper is a light brown color and has a rough edge on the left side. The text is written in a dark brown ink and is very small. It is difficult to read, but it appears to be some kind of religious or philosophical text. The paper is old and worn, with some tears and creases visible. This piece of paper is part of a larger manuscript, and it would be interesting to learn more about the artist who created it. You can learn more about this piece and other works by visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art.
