About this work

This page is packed with black ink writing in a tight, angular script. Two red circles sit in the middle, like bright spots on old paper. The edges are framed by a thin red line, and the whole thing looks a little worn, like it’s been handled a lot. The text is arranged in neat rows, but the circles break up the pattern—maybe they mark something important. The paper has a yellowish tint, like it’s been around for a long time. If you like this kind of writing, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
