Tibetan Buddhist Manuscript Scroll, the title freely translates to "The Sutra Of The Excellent and Victorious Concerning The Sacred Golden Lights Of The Arya". This manuscript comes from the library of the Imperial Palace, Peking, and both Chinese and Tibetan scholars ascribe it to the reign of K'ang His (1661-1722).
It is the work of a skilled lama (Tibetan Buddhist) scribe, who has employed the scholarly style known as "thick letters", now largely used in Tibetan printed books. As most of the finer paper used at this period came from Korea, it is reasonable to suppose that this leaf is also from Korean origin, although the blue coloring and black glaze were undoubtedly added in the Tibetan scriptorium.
Condition Note: The scroll is in very good condition, with minor handling wear along the margins and foxing. The scroll measures 9" inches in length and approx. 23" inches in width.
