A handwritten Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper. In "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script. An instructional text for a ritual to overcome serious infectious disease perhaps through the recitation of the six potent mantras contained within the text. It states that the text is so powerful that reading it and (presumably) reciting the mantras means that consulting astrologers or lamas becomes unnecessary. Final page of writing in "headless" Tibetan dbu med (Ume) script, ༄༅། །ལྷོག་འདུལ་གྱི་གདམ་པ་ཨ་ཏི་དྲུག་སྐོར་བས་བཞུགས་བ་ལགས་སོ།.
