A COLLECTION OF 22 AUTHENTIC CHINESE-VIETNAMESE . . . JOSS PAPERS INCLUDING GOLD BARS COINS & CLOTHING . . . WITH HUNDREDS OF SHEETS OF PAPER EXAMPLES . WHAT IS JOSS: Venerating the ancestors is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead continue to dwell in the natural world and have the power to influence the fortune and fate of the living. The goal of ancestor worship is to ensure the ancestor's continued well-being and positive disposition towards the living and sometimes to ask for special favors or assistance. . Rituals of ancestor worship most commonly consist of offerings to the deceased to provide for their welfare in the afterlife which is envisioned to be similar to the earthly life. The burning of spirit money enables the ancestor to purchase luxuries and necessities needed for a comfortable afterlife. . WHAT IS JOSS PAPER: Jin Zhi or Xiang Zhi is Pinyin for Chinese Joss Paper meaning "Gold Paper" or "Fragrant Paper." They have also been called "Yinsizhi" Netherworld paper "Zhiqian" paper money "Ming bi" "Shade/Dark money" and several other similar names has been used over the centuries. . These papers have been burnt as offerings common in Chinese ancestral worship to venerate deceased family members and relatives on holidays and special occasions. They were also used as offerings in the worship of gods using similar Joss papers. . These papers were in two categories: 1. Paper representations of Chinese coins or currency some called: "Hell Notes" being large tied stacks of money. . b. Three-dimensional paper-crafts & papier-mâché made into items of daily use sent to the deceased ancestors or Gods for use in the "after life." These objects were made into objects of daily use such as food clothing daily use objects burned "to ensure that the spirit of the deceased has lots of good things in the afterlife." These are often called "Jingyi" "threads and clothes" which is a type of Joss paper with printed images of items needed by the dead in "daily life" such as clothes shoes cups and scissors &c. . THREE TYPES OF SPIRIT MONEY: Different types of spirit money are given to distinct categories of spirits. The three main types of spirit money are copper cash silver and gold. Cash monies are given to newly deceased spirits and spirits of the unknown. . Gold Jin spirit money is given to both the deceased and higher gods such as the Jade Emperor. . Silver spirit money Yin is given exclusively to ancestral spirits as well as spirits of local deities. These distinctions between the three categories of spirit money must be followed precisely to avoid confusing or insulting the spirits. . HAND-MADE PAPERS: Joss paper is traditionally made from coarse bamboo-fiber paper which has a handmade quality in variable coarseness with many natural imperfections. It is often mistakenly called "rice paper." . Traditional joss is cut into individual squares or rectangles.

1965réf. 212871965. Archive of original photographs documenting African American soldiers serving in the Vietnam War during the early phase of large-scale United States military escalation in Southeast Asia. The material captures the daily experiences military operations and interpersonal relationships of Black servicemen stationed at Bien Hoa Air Base circa 1965 including members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. The photographs provide primary-source visual evidence of integrated military life during a period when African American troops served disproportionately in frontline combat roles while racial inequality and civil rights struggles intensified in the United States. Particularly significant is the candid nature of the images which were apparently taken by an African American serviceman identified by the surname Thomas offering an unusually personal perspective on Black military experience during the Vietnam conflict. Collection consists of 56 original black-and-white silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 3.5 x 3.5 to 3.5 x 5.5 inches primarily loose with two mounted to an album page. The photographs depict African American soldiers at Bien Hoa Air Base near Saigon identifiable through a photographed base sign and visible 173rd Airborne Brigade insignia on soldiers' uniforms. Numerous images portray Black servicemen posing casually outside tents reading letters socializing in small groups smoking resting and interacting with fellow soldiers emphasizing camaraderie and the routines of military life between operations. Several photographs document airborne training exercises with parachutists descending beneath open canopies over the surrounding landscape. Other images depict military infrastructure and equipment including jeeps sandbag fortifications stacked munitions barracks areas and transport zones associated with the logistical operations of the base. The archive also includes photographs taken during off-duty excursions into Vietnamese civilian areas including a riverside marketplace crowded with vendors boats and local residents. Additional images show soldiers posed before local monuments and religious sites including one photograph of Thomas with a white serviceman in front of a Buddhist temple and another featuring a tall obelisk monument surrounded by military statuary. The archive documents the lived experience of African American servicemen within integrated combat units during one of the most consequential military conflicts of the twentieth century. Bien Hoa Air Base served as a major operational center for airborne and aerial missions during the early years of sustained U.S. intervention and the presence of Black paratroopers within these photographs provides important visual evidence of African American military participation during the Civil Rights era. Unlike official military photography the informal and personal nature of the images preserves moments of friendship boredom training and interaction with Vietnamese civilians that are often absent from institutional wartime records. Minor edge wear and light handling wear throughout; photographs remain sharp and well-preserved overall in very good condition. A substantial and historically valuable photographic record of African American military life in Vietnam during the mid-1960s. unknown

1960réf. 210781960. Vietnam War Photography Personal photograph album containing 17 silver gelatin photographs documenting civilian life education family and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. Original brown vinyl album measuring approximately 3.5" x 4.5"; photographs approximately 2.5" x 3.25". The album offers an intimate glimpse into the everyday experiences of South Vietnamese men and women during a period more often documented through the lens of war. Rather than combat scenes the photographs focus primarily on family friendship education courtship and community life creating a personal record of a society navigating rapid social change amid the conflict. Several photographs depict young Vietnamese women wearing traditional áo dài dresses both in formal portraits and informal outdoor settings. One particularly attractive image shows three smiling women walking along a path in patterned áo dài framed by a mixture of traditional and modern architecture. Another studio portrait captures a young woman posed alone and smiling toward the camera suggesting a family member friend or perhaps the album owner's sweetheart. Education and youth culture are prominently represented. Multiple photographs show school-aged girls gathered in classrooms and assembled outdoors in large group portraits. The students wear white áo dài and traditional conical hats illustrating the continued importance of educational institutions and cultural traditions during the war years. Several candid classroom scenes preserve moments of ordinary student life rarely encountered in wartime photographic archives. The album also documents changing fashions and modernization in South Vietnam. Young men and women appear in contemporary 1960s clothing posing in parks forests and rural landscapes. One photograph shows a young Vietnamese man seated proudly atop a large tractor reflecting the agricultural modernization efforts underway throughout much of South Vietnam during the period. Military service appears in several images. One photograph depicts a South Vietnamese serviceman standing beside an automobile with military vehicles visible in the background suggesting that the album may have belonged to a soldier or military family. Unlike official military photographs however the image emphasizes personal identity rather than military operations reinforcing the album's character as a private keepsake rather than a wartime record. Additional photographs show fishing boats riverside scenes rural landscapes and groups of family members and friends creating a portrait of everyday life that existed alongside the broader conflict. Together the photographs reveal the coexistence of tradition and modernity documenting a generation of South Vietnamese men and women whose lives were shaped by both enduring cultural customs and the upheavals of the Vietnam War era. Photographs appear to have been removed from a larger album at some point with remnants of mounting paper and adhesive visible on versos. Minor wear and handling marks; overall very good condition. A compelling personal archive documenting civilian life education culture and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. unknown
