About the Item

Introducing an Exquisite and Rare Gilded Buddhist Manuscript This remarkable piece presents a truly exceptional find—a gilded Buddhist manuscript of immense beauty and rarity. The manuscript features exquisitely decorated wooden covers on both sides, showcasing intricate designs that captivate the beholder. What sets this manuscript apart is its extraordinary lavishness, adorned with depictions of celestial beings, mythical creatures, and a captivating array of animals. Comprising a total of 16 pages, accompanied by two stunning wooden covers, it is a testament to the artistry of the Mandalay period in Burma, dating back to the 19th century. Crafted from gilded palm leaf, the manuscript showcases black lacquer lettering, adding an elegant touch to its overall aesthetic. With dimensions of approximately 56cm (22 inches) in length and 14cm (5.5 inches) in width, it strikes a harmonious balance between size and detail. Despite its grandeur, the manuscript weighs a manageable 2.3kg (5lb), allowing for easy handling and display. This exceptional gilded Buddhist manuscript represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of history, carrying within it the artistic mastery and spiritual significance of its time. Good condition , some abrasions and losses as you see in the photos due of the age couple of pages have small lacquer crack on the corners.
