Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): text page

The page showcases *nastaʿlīq* script, a characteristic cursive style of Persian manuscripts, with varying line lengths for aesthetic balance. The composition is neat, with black ink on a light ground and a thin red border.

Provenance details are not specified, but the page's style and material suggest it originates from the Persian manuscript tradition, likely 16th century or earlier, given the *nastaʿlīq* script's popularity during this time.

Part of a larger manuscript, *Tales of a Parrot*, this page would have been used for reading and storytelling in a Persianate cultural context, reflecting the era's literary and artistic values.
