Red Ground Book Covers

Carved wooden blocks rectangular in shape, and often gilded and painted, serve as covers for the stacks of loose-leaf pages of Himalayan books. The wood block covers can be generally divided into four main subjects based on design: decorative, figurative, lantsha script and red ground.
