(59.21 x 32.86 x 28.58 cm), Bronze, Vietnam, 3rd-2nd century BCE, The attenuated form, repeated double-spiral decoration, and lines with sawtooth markings are motifs unique to Don Song culture (400 BCE-200 CE), a pan-Southeast Asian civilization inhabiting regions of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Yunnan province in China, and Indonesia. In the first millennium BCE, Don Song production of magnificent large bronzes increased. This bell was cast using the piece-mold process developed by neighboring Chinese bronze-founders.
