Script: Burmese script. Binding: Lacquered black wooden covers with red beveled edges, palm leaf edges gilt, with wide red strip down center of long edges. Bound by two cords running through the middle of the covers and each leaf. The lower cover is less well-lacquered and may not be original to the volume. Some leaves are adhering to each other due to edge gilding and may require conservation. A Burmese palm-leaf manuscript (lontar), probably from the 19th century. The textual content of this manuscript is unidentified.
