Trống đồng Đông Sơn
Trống đồng Đông Sơn brings ancient Vietnamese bronze work into view in Hà Nội, with designs rooted in the Đông Sơn culture. This culture flourished across Việt Nam from the seventh century BC to the second century AD.
The bronze surface shows a sun, stilt houses, birds, farmers, cattle, hunting, fishing and dancing. These scenes reveal cultural life, beliefs and agricultural activity in ancient Vietnamese communities. First used as a musical instrument, the drum later became a symbol of authority among Lạc Việt leaders. Bronze objects from the culture first came to light near Đông Sơn village in Thanh Hóa in 1924.
A twelve-pointed star marks an ancient Vietnamese calendar and corresponds to the twelve months. More than five hundred related drums have been found across Việt Nam and now appear in museums.
