Subject:bronze bracelet (age?)
Posted By: Maurice Sawyer Wed, Oct 29, 2008 IP: 202.74.183.217
Hi everyone, Could anyone shed some light on what period this item is? Purchased in Southern Vietnam, I haven't seen them before. Possible Champa? Various sizes, this one stands 180mm high.
Cheers,
Maurice

Dear Maurice

It looks like pre-historic Dongson Culture bronze brecelet. Dongson Culture (1000 BC to 1 BC) was originally from the North of Vietnem, but later they migrated to the South Vietnam as well as Southeast Asia, then blended in with the local culture.

Pls take picture of another side and see the condition inside if there is any evidence caused by the decomposition of the dead?

Have fun
Anita Mui
