A pair of ancient religious Jain folios from the Kalapasūtra Manuscript written in the middle Indo-Aryan liturgical language of Pali. Widely used in Buddhist scriptures during ancient times.

The Kalpasūtra is an ancient book of rituals, sacred to the Jains. The Kalpasūtra is one of the most important and popular texts in the Śvetāmbara tradition of Jainism. Painted on parchment.
