Manuscrit érotique tibétain
1900|7.80 x 19 cm|autre
Erotic manuscript consisting of two beveled wooden boards with two paintings and 10 leaves with a painting on the recto and a handwritten Tibetan text on the recto.

The paintings are executed directly on the wood and the leaves. The dimensions of the paintings vary somewhat, from 5.5 cm, 6 cm to 12, 14 cm in width.
This form, 2 pieces of wood with leaves in the middle, is traditional. The whole was often attached by a string, or by holes in the wood through which a string was passed. Very good
