དཔེ་ཆ

A woodblock printed unbound Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper in "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script. A short amchi (Tibetan medical) text, part nine of a series with eleven different subjects. The title of the text also refers to “poison” so perhaps this is the central subject matter. སྐོར་ཚོམས་སྟོང་ཐུན་བཅུ་གཅིག་ལས་དགུ་པ་དུག་གི་སྟོང་ཐུན་བཞུགས་སོ།.
