About this work

This page is packed with black text in neat, angular letters. Three red circles with white centers stand out against the dark background. Vertical red lines run down the middle and edges, like borders. The script looks precise, almost like a puzzle of words. The circles might be symbols—maybe for the sun or something sacred. The text is dense, but the red pops against the black, making it easier to read. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
