    Description

    This is an interesting Antique Thai Theravada Buddhist Painted Drawing (Samut Khoi / Parabaik) on heavy paper.  This folded paper drawing folds into two equal halves and shows two Guardian Figures on the margins with Thai script in the middle.  I would conservatively estimate the piece dates from the latter part of the 1800's. This Samut Khoi was purchased by my father and myself in Bangkok in the early 1980's when he owned an antique shop in Penang, Malaysia.  We both admired these drawings and actively collected them.  We were always on the lookout for good examples such as this one.  Once mounted & framed this Manuscript would be a lovely addition to the interior decor of any home.  Please note the detailed item Condition Description referenced above.
    Drawing Dimensions: 11 inches wide and 26 1/4 inches long.  Weight: 3 ounces
    Returns accepted if not completely satisfied.
