A handwritten unbound Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper. In "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script. Title page is missing. This is a text for a ritual performed at the age of 9, and then every nine years to follow, a ritual to remove obstacles that are commonly thought to occur at these ages. Perhaps དགུ་མིག་བཞུགས་སོ། (Tib དགུ་མིག. Wylie gu mik) Literally nine eyes.
Extent: One unbound book consisting of seven folios.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 37.5 cm x 8 cm.
Condition of original material: Stained and darkened through age and usage. Final folio is damaged but without obvious loss of text.
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.
