China (sourced in Thailand)
19th century
17 x 35 cm.

This is one of the Ten Kings of Hell. It depicts a typically Chinese bureaucratic process. Before being permitted to transmigrate into the next life, a soul is tried by a different king each week for seven weeks; it is sent to the eighth king on the hundredth day, to the ninth after a year, and to the tenth the third year after death. Here, a king—assisted by a scribe, examines and passes sentence on the souls of the dead. in the foreground is a demon who will administer punishment of the wicked.

If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
