11. Cam ritual vessels
La vaisselle rituelle cam
Résumé
The Vietnamese Museum of History in Hồ Chí Minh, conserves magnificent examples of Cam metal ritual objects dating to the 10 th-18 th centuries. Some bear inscriptions that help us discern their ceremonial use in ritual practice. They include dishes, offering plates and vases, bowls and vases for libation, incense-burners, and betel boxes. We will study the circumstances of their discovery and their deposition in the Museum. A more detailed study will then focus on both the inscriptions on the objects and an ethnographic account of how the different forms that evolved for ceremonies.
