Altar Annamese Deity Meal Ritual Vietnam 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures an intimate moment in the life of an Annamese family from Vietnam in the year 1907. The scene unfolds before an intricately decorated altar, where the family has gathered to pay their respects to their deity and partake in a ritual meal. The father, dressed in traditional Vietnamese garb, sits at the head of the table, his expression serious and contemplative. His wife, wearing a flowing, colorful robe, serves rice and other offerings to their children, who sit obediently before them. The family's faces are a mix of concentration and joy, as they partake in this important cultural tradition. The altar, adorned with incense sticks, fruits, and flowers, is a testament to the deep spiritual connection that the Annamese people have with their deities. The intricate carvings and vibrant colors of the altar reflect the rich history and cultural heritage of Vietnam. The family meal, a significant aspect of Vietnamese life, is not only a time for nourishment but also a time for family bonding and spiritual reflection. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment of peace and tranquility in the life of an Annamese family. The image is a reminder of the importance of tradition and family in Vietnamese culture, and the enduring power of spiritual practices to bring people together. The photograph, taken in 1907, is a valuable historical record of a time and place that may have otherwise been lost to the sands of time. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and culture of Vietnam and its people.
