Joss paper 2: Clothes

In Singapore, makers of joss paper sell sets of papers, containing all the necessary offerings for a particular spirit or divinity. The following pieces of joss paper come from such a set, intended for worshiping one's ancestors. They represent clothes.

The clothes come in an elegant pattern of key-frets and foliage. They come in red and green, as seen below.

Although these examples are patterned, some examples are plain. Joss paper makers also produce smaller versions of such clothes, intended as an offering to those who died in infancy. 

Floral paper

A New year, and finally a new post. Here is a fine floral wrapping-paper. For some reason the design incorporates deer. 

Singaporean Blankbook.

The cover of an old ( 1980s -1990s) blankbook. This particular specimen was purchased an an ols shop in Singapore. The pattern reminds one of a certain type of tile.

Indonesian blankbook (3)

The cover of a pocket-sized (10 x 16 cm) Indonesian blankbook. This particular example was purchased in Jogjakarta in 2014, and probably manufactured around the same time.
The paper on this example is particularly intricate and vibrant, unlike the subdued hues of the other books featured here. Nonetheless, the influence of Batik patterns can still be felt.

The front cover bears the name SERITI, probably the maker's name. This particular blank book has a space for the user to fill in information on its front cover. Such a feature is fairly rare in blankbooks I have come across.
