- Title:
- Wooden Printing Block. Shing par (Wylie shing dpar) ཤིང་དཔར Early 20th century
- Scope & Content:
-
Approx size. 8 x 30 cm. Approximate Age 70-80 years. Carved with images of male and female demons, both with iron chains around their legs. Some mantras in Tibetan lettering. These carved wooden blocks are printed with soot and water on to paper or cloth. The image from this block is widely used by the Buchen who now tend to use photocopies rather than new prints. One Wooden Printing Block
The material is owned by Tsering Paljor and has been handed down from father to son through several generations of head Buchen. All the materials in the archive are kept within the prayer room of the house. The team was given an extremely short time to photograph the archive, consequently the photography was rather rushed and we concentrated on the thangkas and the wooden printing block. Several obects that has been surveyed during the previous fieldtrip were not photographed.
