A fascinating description of the art of Burmese ritual tattooing. This Parabuik was written sometimes around the end of the nineteenth century to guide people in the use and meaning of specific tattoos. The text is written in pencil and red and black ink on one continuous strip of white folded paper and bound with black lacquer cover. Donor: Burma Studies Group
