A handwritten unbound Tibetan text (pecha) on on handmade paper. Written in "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script. No title page. This is not a chowa tantric ritual text, but a religious text, usually used for reading after someone has died. (Tib. གཟའ་ཡུམ་གྱི་སྒྲུབ་ཐབས་རྗེ་གནང་བུམ་མཆོག་དང་བཅས་བཞུགས་སོ། Wylie. gza' yum gyi sgrub thabs rje gnang bum mchog dang bcas bzhugs so).
Extent: One unbound book consisting of seven folios.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 26.5 cm x 11 cm.
Condition of original material: Slight discoloration throughout through age and usage. Some blue pen marks and additional writing in blue ink.
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.
