1. This carving is on the bottom side of the cover Tibet 13th -14th c. wood 30"x11.5"x2.25" |
This, the top cover of an unknown Tibetan manuscript, is one of the finest examples we have ever come across for sale. Either side is equally beautiful, though the inside carving is exceptionally well executed and in near pristine condition. This photograph shows the inside---carved surface---of the manuscript cover. The photograph which follows is of the top surface of the same piece.
