Description: Antique Buddhist Burmese Sutra Sarseyko Palm Leaf Paper Manuscript Kammavaca. Chinese Pot-hi Binding This fascinating and peculiar technique was originally invented and imported from India. The traditional Indian technique involved stacking on top of each other dry palm leaves that were cut into a rectangular shape. These were then stitched together with a cord and held into place by two ending wood peices that not only helped the structure, but also protected the fragile pages. On the contrary, the Chinese pothi did not use the same prime resources, due to the fact the materials used by the Indians were not generally available in China, while bamboo, wood and paper were more common. This is why the Chinese pothi, also known as Fanjia Zhuang (sandwiched Sanskrit binding) denoting the method used and the language used by the Indian pothi, or Beiye Jing (palm leaf sutra) indicating the prime material used in the Indian pothi, was predominantly made with paper.
