555 x 115 mm, housed in original case 770 x 310 x 325 mm. 92 ff. Pali manuscript on textile leaves, painted black and red and then lacquered. Pale yellow Burmese square script. Loose, housed in contemporary manuscript chest. Housed in a rare surviving manuscript case: a Burmese lacquered manuscript of a Buddhist monastic text. The manuscript case, called a sedaik, is rarely preserved alongside such manuscripts. Such cases were specially made for manuscripts held in monasteries and in the homes of wealthy Buddhist families; lavishly decorated and painted in gold, with five sides made up of a metal grille punched with geometric designs, the sedaik signifies the importance of the text housed inside. It had practical uses as well: raised off the floor on four legs, it kept manuscripts away from water damage, and its decorative metal grille was a useful defence against rats and mice. - The manuscript housed in this sedaik is a section of the Sutta Vibhanga which describes a parajika: one of the four forbidden failures of monastic life which, if perpetrated, would see a monk banned from re-entering a monastery for the rest of his current reincarnation. These parajika include sexual intercourse, theft, murder or inciting a death, and lying about one's spiritual level along the path to Enlightenment. The Sutta Vibhanga is an important text of Theravada Buddhism, and dictates many such aspects of Buddhist monastic life. - The text of this manuscript is written in creamy yellow Burmese square script on a field of black lacquer, bordered in red and decorated with gilt. This black lacquer field and pale script are an uncommon combination; similar manuscripts are more commonly seen in black ink on fields of red-and-gold. Fine lacquer manuscripts such as this one were commissioned by wealthy laypeople and donated to a local monastery, an action through which the donors would gain spiritual merit, as well as enriching their local monastic libraries. - Text gently rubbed or faded in a few places; gentle edgewear to lacquer leaves, with one or two minor chips (no loss to text). Case with light wear, fully functional, clasp likely later. In good condition. - From the collection of a private estate in Edinburgh, Scotland, acquired during the colonial era.

8vo (16.5 x 11 cm, 150 cm unfolded). 16 ff. With 16 hand-painted illustrations on saa paper, accordeon or concertina-style, double sided. Original wooden boards, hand-carved with a pig and a tiger. Rare and unusual manuscript tattoo design book from the Shan region of Burma (now Myanmar). This work is made from foldout mulberry (saa) paper with sacred symbols of mythology as well as numerology and sacred Buddhist texts. - The Shan are a South-East Asian ethnic group who live primarily in Myanmar, but are believed to have originated in China. The majority of the Shan are Theravada Buddhists. Tattoos related to Buddhism would often be created at temples by monks, thus ensuring that the wearer would be protected from harm. Other common Burmese tattoo motifs include cats of various sizes from house cats to tigers, dragons, geometric patterns, and figures from the history and culture of Myanmar and Buddhism. In their art, both Chinese and Buddhist influences are apparent, though the uniquely Burmese character of the Shan's style is undeniable. Interestingly, until the 20th century, tattooing was a widespread practice among the Burmese, even among women, and particularly among the Shan, who boasted one of the oldest traditions. "The traditional art of tattooing is deeply rooted in Myanmar's history: from kings to commoners, tattoos were exemplars and devices of state bondsmen, masculine strength, feminine beauty, cultural identity and aesthetic appeal, while endowed as well with spiritual powers serving as protection from evil forces" (Moe Moe Oo). - Due to the Shan belief that tattoos imbued the wearer with spiritual strength or held magical significance, tattooing acquired great cultural importance, being practised especially during times of turmoil. As tattooing frequently took days, opium was the preferred anaesthetic, a fact whch, along with Western influences, accounts for the tradition dying out at the beginning of the 20th century. It has recently regained popularity. - One small tear to paper, otherwise in excellent condition. - Moe Moe Oo, Tattoo Art in Myanmar Culture: Special Reference with State Bondsmen of Cavalry Corps, 2016.

Burma ? Siam ca 1900-1920s. A set of copper & brass scales, hand made contained in a two-part wooden case with three elephants carved in the top, 16.5 x 7.5 cm., closed with a brass ring, scale bowls 4.5 cm. diameter, balance bar 11 cm. . *** **** *** . . HAND-MADE . . * A lovely period piece, entirely hand-made. This charming and unique ethnic piece came from the Golden Triangle area. . The case has a pivot point at the elephant's tail end. It opens by separating the two halves as if a clam-shell. Contained within the box is a matching carved form exactly matching the whole scale and its two brass bowls. . The bowls are tied with four purple dyed strings attached to each end of the copper balance bar. Held in the center by another string, the pointer will balance to the exact center, done with great & fine precision and accuracy. . One simply puts opium in one side and a counter balance in the other to get an exact weight measurement. . Likely the work of Karens or other Golden triangle tribes. Articles of this caliber and period are quite scarce. . *** Color photos are posted to our website. . *.
