Antique 19C Thai Buddhist Manuscript / Samut Khoi Painting on Handmade Paper

Description

This is a nicely detailed Antique Thai Buddhist Painting / Drawing (Samut Khoi) on thick handmade paper.  This delicate piece folds in half and shows two Character illustrations.  There is also Thai script in the middle of both illustrations as well writing on the back of the manuscript.  This item is quite old and I conservatively estimate the manuscript 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 admired these paintings / drawings and actively collected them.  Once mounted, matted and framed this Manuscript would show beautifully.  Please note the detailed Condition Description referenced above.
Unfolded Painting Dimensions: 26 1/4 inches wide and 11 inches in height.  Weight: 2.3 ounces (65.2 grams)
