Chinese spirit money, Joss Paper, Hell Bank Note

A Chinese Hell Bank Note.

Hell money is a form of joss paper printed to resemble legal tender bank notes. The notes are not an official form of recognized currency or legal tender since their sole intended purpose is to be offered as burnt offerings to the deceased as a solution to resolve their assumed financial problems in the afterlife. This custom has been practiced by the modern Chinese and across East Asia since the late 19th century. The identification of this type of joss paper as "hell bank notes" or "hell money" is largely a Western construct, since these items are simply regarded as yet another form of joss paper in East Asian cultures.

Good condition.

I can combine P&P providing you wait for an invoice before making payment. Log into . and place the items in your basket, then use the “Request Total from Seller” (do not use the Proceed to Checkout button). I will then weigh your items and send you an invoice. If you are using a mobile app, this facility is sometimes not available and you may need to log in on a desktop or laptop. An alternative way is to click to purchase one item and then choose the continue buying with this seller option. Do not use the Pay Now. Ditto with the next and the next. I can then send you an invoice. Discounts cannot be given once you have paid, so please contact me if you still have a problem.
