Any suggestions for images of the Sutta Pitaka in its older surviving forms, Burmese or any language? I am primarily interested in seeing both the structure and material of manuscripts and calligraphic styles/ variants. My online searches have been fruitless beyond a few single snapshots, or Getty and alamy and the like. I’d like to see images in association with descriptions if possible. Thanks in advance!

Thank you!
I should emphasize that descriptive text is important as well.
Any further resources would be most appreciated!
