Item Details
Description
Black tamarind seed script on red lacquer panels embellished with gold and silver. Though usually on lacquered palm leaf, surface dings on some of these pages show the lacquer is over a cloth base, traditionally cut from the discarded robes of a venerable monk. Tacky substance, perhaps residue of double sided tape, on one side of pages suggest they were once mounted for display. Ornate front cover and eight tablets, the ornate back of the last page of script appears to form the back cover. Each tablet approx. 21 1/4" x 5".
