7 Two-sided Burmese Fortune Teller Book Panels, Framed

Seven panels, fourteen faces of fortune, and one black frame.

This set of seven two-sided Burmese fortune teller book panels, in paper and pigment, was made in Burma in the mid 20th century. Folding books of this type were commonly used for astrology and divination. Each panel is painted in white on black with small compartments holding animals, figures and symbols. The panels are mounted in a floating black frame, so the full run is seen as one tall column.

About 16 inches wide and 34 tall. Moody, orderly, and quietly crowded.
