One of the eight elements of the scholar is the censer, since the ritual of burning incense has been of great importance and it was believed that the smoke of the incense resembled the energy of the clouds being sacred and a vehicle towards the world of the spirits. When the incense burners were not used, they were placed upside down as an ornamental piece.
They were always ritual pieces, and therefore for the exclusive use of the ruling class or as funerary ornaments. Copper vessels were mainly used in sacrifices to the ancestors, and also as a means of communication between heaven and earth, as well as in ceremonial banquets (propitiatory rites). In later times the bronze vessel will be very important, and it will be considered a good omen to find an ancient bronze, especially related to the legitimacy of the ruler. In fact, from the Han dynasty (3rd century AD), they will begin to be treasured by rulers as symbols of political legitimacy.

With over a million units sold of all models, the Ami 6 is a classic on French roads, with a very famous driver in the person of Yvonne de Gaulle. The vehicle was created in 1961 by Citroën CEO Pierre Bercot and Flaminio Bertoni, the brilliant creator of the 2CV and DS front-wheel drives. The idea was to take up the principle of the inverted rear window initiated on the American Packard Balboa X prototype of 1953 and carried over to the Ford Anglia of 1959. The result was an instantly recognizable silhouette. Described as the "Super 2CV", it uses the same chassis but with a larger volume, increasing its mass by more than 80 kg. It was also equipped with an engine 83% larger than that of the Deudeuch. Production ceased in 1969, to be replaced by the Ami 8.

Is it still necessary to present the most famous of all military vehicles? Given the chassis number, this Jeep most likely landed in France in 1944. Reputedly complete, it will have to be reassembled. The chassis has already been sandblasted and repainted. The non-exhaustive list of parts below leads us to believe that it is complete, and that you will even have spare parts at your disposal.
