Antique Buddhist Burmese sutra palm leaf manuscripts, known as Pesa in Myanmar, are ancient religious texts written on dried and treated palm leaves. These manuscripts, often inscribed with Buddhist scriptures (sutras), were a primary form of record-keeping and religious literature in Burma, particularly before the widespread use of paper. They are characterized by their rectangular palm leaf pages, which are typically inscribed with black ink and sometimes adorned with gold leaf and decorative elements, particularly in manuscripts like the Kammavaca.
