Fearn, Thanks for the advice. It neither feels magical or dead in my hands,
maybe I'm not just tuned in.

Ronpakis, The seller told me it was collected in Lake Toba in the 70's.

Nonoy, The writing is a little similar to alibata.

Bill, I've handled it and it seems right, but I'm not a knowledgeable one.


It's printed on bark, and feels delicate. I don't know the age of it other than
when it was collected in the field. It could be an authentic shamans book but not so old as the one's in the museums. After giving it much thought, I will pass on it and save my meager allowance for a Kamp or something.

Spunjer, you better get busy on the wifey's "do list"

Thanks all.
