"Worship of the God Fo in Cochin China in the region of the bay of Turon" is a historical illustration from the early 19th century, specifically from the period of the 1820s-1830s, found within the comprehensive work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" by Italian author Giulio Ferrario. The illustration, attributed to artist Giovanni Bigatti, depicts a religious scene from the coastal area around the Bay of Turon, known today as Đà Nẵng Bay in Vietnam. The work is part of Ferrario's extensive study on the customs, fashion, and daily life of people from different parts of the world.

The illustration is significant as it provides a visual account of the religious practices associated with the worship of the God Fo, which is an interpretation of the Buddha in the context of Cochin China, the name historically used by Western countries to refer to Southern Vietnam. The detailed depiction offers insights into the cultural and religious attire, architecture, and rituals of the period, reflecting the European interest in Orientalism and the documentation of exotic cultures during the age of exploration and colonialism.

"Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" was a seminal work in the study of ethnography and the history of costume, aiming to provide a comprehensive survey of the world's dress and customs. The inclusion of the "Worship of the God Fo in Cochin China" within this work underscores the breadth of Ferrario's ambition to catalog and understand the diversity of global cultures. The illustration by Bigatti, along with others in the collection, serves as a valuable historical record and is of particular interest to scholars studying the intersection of art, religion, and cultural history in Southeast Asia during the early 19th century.
