Having spent some time analysing frame by frame of the strange mushroom cloud-like float made me realise not only is that possibly connected to the tabut flower, but that the technique of making is not too different from assembling a bunga manggar.

Giving colour (since colour symbolism, a bibliographical composite drawn from all kinds of colonial records, was paramount to the visual spectacle of the Festivities) to the only known surviving motion picture of the Muharram in the Malay World, filmed in 1909 Singapore.

After some patient fiddling around for the past three days, I managed to digitally paint a tabut flower (Clerodendron paniculatum , Verbenaceae). And I gave it a chromatic oceanic kandang.

At long last I made it: a trip into the remote Gansu countryside to track down the town of Liqian 骊靬, to which is attached the strangest of stories: that it was founded by the lost legionnaires of Crassus, whose descendants still till the local countryside. Thread. 1/13
