Palm-leaf Manuscript.

Palm-leaf Manuscript. Approximately 130 leaves, with hand-painted chamfered wooden boards depicting elephant riders on a red background adorned with interlacing vegetal motifs on the front board, the back board in the same style, without the figures, strings intact, with a later title and drawing of the Buddha inside the front board, 18 x 2 in. This text is identified as the Maha Satipatthana Sutta, [corrected orthography] inside the front board, one of the earliest texts of Buddhist teachings, on the practice of mindfulness.
