Extent: One unbound book consisting of eight folios.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 36 cm x 8 cm.
Condition of original material: Discoloration and staining throughout through age and usage. Some red stains.
Custodial history: All the material was passed to the current owner by his father. Nyima Dorje is not a practising chowa but his father, grandfather and great grandfather were well established and well respected practitioners and would travel widely to undertake tantric rituals.
Arrangement: All the material was kept in the prayer room of Nyima Dorje's house (unseen). 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.
