	#324 Dong Son Drums in Vietnam Category: Historical Unit Price: US$60.00
Description: Dong Son sites, dated into the Metal Age, became first known in the 1920's. For many years thereafter, the excavation of the Dong Son sites, the study of Dong Son culture and of ancient bronze drums were pursued in a fairly arbitrary manner. Hypotheses suggested in explanation of these somewhat singular artifacts by French colonial scholars, assisted by other Western scholars, remained unconvincing. This book lists systematically 144 drums with photos, illustrations, and detailed description. Published in 1990 by The Vietnam Social Science Publishing House . 282 pages, soft cover, 37 cm x 26cm.
