Not Lothar Baumgarten's Cherokee

1990

A photograph of an aged paper with handwritten text in two different scripts. The left side of the paper features larger, more ornate script, possibly in a non-Latin alphabet, while the right side contains smaller, more uniform writing in a Latin alphabet. The paper has irregular edges and shows signs of wear. There is a signature at the bottom right corner.
