The material on which is written, is a kind of bark that is formed each year between the wood and the real outer bark of the aloe tree. This precious tree is found in South-East Asia. Even Diosourides (1st cent. CE) quotes this tree and its bark as excellent writing material.
The long straps are folded and fixed on both ends to a wooden board, often engraved or sculptured. Thus a pustaha is created. Most texts have animistic-religious, medicinal or occult contents, and are used solely by animistic priests. |
