This video shows a traditional Asian conservation technique being applied for the conservation of a very fragile and damaged object, a copy of the Tibetan version of the Ramayana (IOL Tib J 737.1). Placing a scroll on a wooden board is the traditional Asian way of drying and flattening scrolls. Sometimes an alternative type of board, called Karibari, constructed with layers of Japanese paper is employed. © British Library.

  • The one thing that is not used here is a pair of gloves.

  • Wow, I never knew that the Ramayana was important to Tibetans as well.
