Lontar handwriting from Bali.
35 pages of palm leaf, all written on on both sides described in Bali script. 
The pages are held together by two thicker wooden protective plates. These are damaged on the inside in the past by pests (?) but completely in tact. This only applies to the flyleaves, not the handwriting.
On the wooden protective plates appears to be a large part of leather or bark.
