A handwritten Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper. In "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script with a small amount of "headless" Tibetan dbu med (Ume) script. No title page. This text is probably a protector puja, a ritual undertaken to protect the person who will undertake rituals that will follow, invoking a protector deity who will also help remove obstacles to progress.
Extent: One unbound book consisting 37 of folios including several modern inserts.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 48 cm x 8.5 cm.
Condition of original material: Stained and darkened through usage and age. Several replacement pages or additional pages on modern paper.
Arrangement: All the material is kept within the 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.
