    Antique Hmong Text from Northern Vietnam

    Text outlines traditional ritual events to be followed from cradle to grave. A mixture of Daoist and indigeneous beliefs. Scripted by learned Shaman priest.

     
    The script is a mixture of Chinese and that used by Yao
    people. Notes written in black ink. Hand-stitched
    binding. Written with brushes and on mulberry
    paper.
     
    The pages in this lavishly illustrated text focus on
    astrology with a wide range of situations presented
    with animals, real and imagined. Since ancient times, according to Yao beliefs, all things have souls. The Yao believe there is a wind god, rain god, god of rice, vegetables and livestock. For each of them a specific worship ritual is performed. These rituals are also kept in the ancient books along with fortune telling, palm reading and calendars.
     
    Covers missing
     
    Text from late 19th to early 20th century.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
