The Mois Tribe, consisting of five male members, is a fascinating group hailing from Vietnam. Nestled in the Lang Bian Mountain region, this tribe has a rich cultural heritage that includes sorcery and two esteemed Moi Chiefs. Dr. Jules Ferrario's renowned work "The Ancient and Modern Costume" showcases the Siecle year and Mexican months through captivating figures representing the sun and moon. In one mesmerizing illustration from this collection, November comes alive with a depiction of an illuminated manuscript page featuring the game of puck. Venturing to Sudan and Africa, we encounter vibrant chromolithos capturing the essence of these lands. The Crossing is depicted in all its glory - a scene that evokes both awe and wonder. Meanwhile, August brings forth coopers hard at work in another exquisite illuminated manuscript page. As we delve into different parts of the world, February presents itself with snow-covered landscapes juxtaposed against agricultural labor on a farm complete with sheepfold. A timeless fresco dating back to c. 1400 transports us to July where we witness scenes depicting life during that era. Mexico beckons us with its vivid chromolitho illustrations showcasing its unique culture while America offers glimpses into its own diverse tapestry through equally stunning chromolithos. Mois may be just four letters but it encompasses so much more - tales of tribes in Vietnam, ancient manuscripts revealing customs across centuries, vibrant artwork capturing moments from around the globe - each hinting at stories waiting to be discovered within this intriguing word: mois.
