Recipe Details
Evidence
"At the end of the last poem a large red circle with a dot inside is added, as if closing the section; this is, however, not one of the marks commonly used in manuscripts and its precise function in this place is unclear."
Remarks
The red pigment is used to form a 'large red circle with a dot inside' at the end of the last poem on Sheet 7 (Sh7). The author identifies this as an uncommon mark in the context of Dunhuang manuscripts (p. 368).
