A handwritten unbound Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper. Handwritten in "headless" Tibetan dbu med (Ume) script. This is a prayer book for daily recitation. Several symbols drawn on the later pages. (Tib. འཕགས་པ་འཇམ་དཔལ་གྱིས་གསུངས་པའི་རྒྱུན་འདོན་བཞུགས་སོ།་ Wylie. 'phags pa 'jam dpal gyis gsungs pa'i rgyun 'don bzhugs so).
Extent: One unbound book consisting of five folios.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 28 cm x 8 cm.
Condition of original material: Folios stitched together with thread. Severely darkened through usage. Damage and staining throughout.
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.
