7 Two-sided Burmese Fortune Teller Book Panels, Framed

Every box is a small prediction, and the frame has no opinion.

These seven two-sided Burmese fortune teller book panels, in paper and pigment, date to the mid 20th century and come from Burma. Books of this kind are commonly associated with astrology, protective lore and the reading of fortunes. The rows here show round and square cartouches in white line work against black, filled with animals, a possible elephant and fine decorative marks. The panels sit in a slim black frame and read as one piece.

About 16 inches wide and 34 tall. Dark, graphic, and good company for a bookcase.
