A handwritten Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper. In "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script. No title page. This is a text describing how to erect a flagpole for Tibetan prayer flags (lung ta lit. windhorse). Title is perhaps: རླུང་རྟ་སྒྲེང་ཚུལ་བཞུགས་སོ།.
Extent: One book consisting of five folios.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 50 cm x 9 cm, folded to 25 cm x 9 cm.
Condition of original material: Staining on many pages. Cover very darkened with age and use and held together with sellotape.
Arrangement: All the material is kept within the owner's prayer room (not seen). The precise country of origin is unknown. However it is almost certain that the original text was created in Tibet, though the specific material in question may have been copied locally in Spiti (India) at a later date.
