Subject:chinese or korean drums ?
Posted By: richard t Mon, Apr 13, 2015 IP: 180.216.36.220

Hi

Can anyone identify if these are Korean or Chinese drums? They sold as Korean but I am wondering if they might be Chinese.

If you do know, how can you tell?

Thanks in advance

Regards
Richard

Chinese drums look exactly like this. The painting was probably added later.
Such drums are still in use in fairly large numbers, this one is not very old.

thanks for the info peter.

i was the underbidder - sometimes one is blinded by obsession. it was only after the auction that i started thinking 'perhaps these are not korean' ....

richard
