Additional Notes & Condition Report
The Dong Son Culture, only recently more widely appreciated in the West, was indigenous to southern China, Southeast Asia and the Indonesian archipeligo and whose bronze and jade creations, ranging from small jue slit-ring earrings to monumental drums, were created with a greater reliance on the sophistication of shape than the elaborateness of decoration.
