Description
ROYAL HORIZONTAL ORDER on paper. Emperor Khai Dinh was the twelfth emperor of the Nguyen dynasty. The text mentions that, on his fortieth birthday, in gratitude for the deity's "protection of the nation and its people", the emperor conferred a divine title on her and ordered that the region (Hanoi province, according to the text) should continue to venerate her, praying for national prosperity. The dragon depicted on this imperial edict is particularly striking, its body intertwined with clouds, testifying to the high artistic standard of royal documents from the late Nguyen dynasty. These imperial edicts are considered sacred cultural heritage in Vietnam, and many ancestral village temples treasure them in finely crafted edict rolls, where they are regularly worshipped.Roll.Vietnam, the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Khai Dinh (1924)A HORIZONTAL ROYAL ORDER ON PAPER, VIETNAM, THE NINTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF EMPEROR KHAI DINH (1924)DIM. 52 X 134 CM (20 1/2 X 52 3/4 IN.)
