Description
This green stone was forced into the mouth of Trần Thắng Tài shortly before his execution by firing squad while imprisoned in a Communist "re-education" camp. He had been captured for leading a rebellion against the regime following the fall of Saigon in 1975. The stone was used to muffle any cries during his execution and dislodged several of his teeth (see VHM_0025 for the related artifact).
