    Antique Embroidered, Silk Shaman Headdress

    Vietnam
    Early 20th century
    39 cm at longest point

     
    Vietnam shamans invoke spirits to cure all that ails. The ancient practice – previously restricted by colonial France and Vietnamese authorities – is enjoying a renaissance in the communist nation as officials ease constraints against it.
     
    The shaman addresses issues like prolonged illness, spiritual possession and stress over family troubles. Practitioners promise to rid followers of evil spirits by using music to lure them out. They also pledge to pass on messages from the dead to the living. The ancient Vietnamese custom dates back to the 13th century and involves calling the spirits of the dead into the bodies of the living to connect past and present.
     
    This headdress is silk with silver thread. Dragon and phoenix motifs.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
