Sanchipat

Sanchipat manuscripts of Assam are prepared from the bark of Agar tree. The bark is cut, smoothened, boiled with insect repellent herbs and further polished to make it thinner. The top row has the four stages of this preparation. Below is a manuscript example which is written on this material in Assamese script. @ Orissa State Museum
