About this work

This page is covered in black ink writing, packed tightly in rows. A red circle sits in the middle, like a sun or a stamp. The edges have faded brown stains, and the paper looks old and thin. Red lines frame the top and bottom. The writing is likely Sanskrit, used in religious texts. The red circle might mark an important passage or symbol. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
