  kruad nahm

 

Thailand

These small metal flaks, each with a corresponding bowl, are used in a ritual called kruad nahm and performed during Buddhist funeral ceremonies.

 

It is a kind of libation in which water is slowly poured from the flask into the bowl. The ritual is performed in order that the deceased may benefit from merit making.
