Subject:Rain Drum
Posted By: Stew Tue, Jan 03, 2023 IP: 24.218.178.4

I wanted to get thoughts on this Dong Son drum. Purchased in Bangkok back in the 1980's. Does the form and patina look "right?"
29 x 29 x 22 cm.
There may be some repair on the lower rim area.

In my opinion, the appearance of acid-washed patina and smaller size point to your drum being a recent decorative product. Please check the URL link to a 2005 Christie’s auction result for an authenticated Dong Son drum with natural patina.

Best regards,

Seems the link got lost in the shuffle.

I'll try again.

Sorry,
