Description

AN ILLUSTRATED FOLDING MANUSCRIPT, PARABAIK, BURMA, 19TH CENTURY

Ink and watercolors on paper. The accordion-style manuscript comprising 96 leaves inscribed with calligraphy, 14 of which are finely painted with scenes depicting narrative panels to accompany the text.

Provenance: From a private collection in Austria.
Condition: Good condition with wear, small losses, flaking and rubbing to pigment, water stains, some creases, and scattered soiling.

Dimensions: Size 14.5 x 69 cm (each page)

Expert’s note: This lot is a so-called Phra Malai manuscript from Siam. The quality of the script and illustrations is of high standard. The colophon has also been well-designed, although the writing and orthography show a few peculiar details.

The earliest known parabaiks date to the mid-18th century and seem to have originated mostly from Mandalay. Originally, they were made for patrons associated with the court, but later, they were also commissioned by wealthier Burmese, to mark special occasions and ritual events.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related Mandalay style parabaik, dated to the 19th century, in the British Museum, registration number 1946,1214,0.1. Compare a related parabaik, attributed to the court of King Mindon or Thibaw, or associated workshops, dated 1870s-1880s, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 2017.209. Compare another example, sold at Zacke auctions, 10 March 2023, lot 647.
