Palm leaf. Complete with 16 leaves (13 cm x 59 cm) of text in Pali, written in Burmese "square" script. The leaves consist of cloth, the fabric of discarded monk's robes, which has been lacquered to provide a rigid surface. (Copper is also used and more rarely ivory). The lacquered surface is gilded and the design is painted in red lacquer and finally the script applied in black laquer. Within wooden covers, similarly gilded and decorated, bevelled edges. A beautiful copy.The Kammavaca is a collection of extracts from the Pali Vinaya, the monastic code of discipline, outlining rituals and observances of the Buddhistic order. It was customary for a Burmese family to commission a copy of the Kammavaca on the occasion of their son entering the monkhood. This kind of manuscript was produced at Mandalay in the latter half of the 19th century. John Guy, "Palm-leaf and Paper. Illustrated Manuscripts of India and Southeast Asia", no. 37. p.61.

Pali characters on thick panels covered with gold leaf, the text lettered in black lacquer. The marginal decorations in gold and red throughout, extensive illustrations sometimes filling the whole of the leaf on the recto or verso. A very handsome and distinguished manuscript. Each panel is 23" x 5 3/8", original sheets of palm, emblazoned in gold, red and black, with two protective covers of gilt, . 16 panels, 32 sides, the text and paintings occupying the whole. A very pleasing and well preserved example of this rare item. A RARE BURMESE BUDDHIST MANUSCRIPT WRITTEN IN PALI CHARACTERS.
