Description
Two-thousand-year-old Han frog drum from Yunnan, China. Rare to find in such a complete condition- usually only found in fragmentary condition. Museum piece. Stands 15 inches tall, top diameter is 26 inches. The one close example I can find was up at a Christie's auction in Amsterdam which was being sold with a miniature example as well. The two drums had a pre-auction estimate of 50,000 gilders for the pair in the 1980s. There are relatively many of the Vietnamese and Laos/Thai/Burmese drums as compared to these extremely early and rare Chinese examples (circa 200 BC to 200AD)Starting price cut almost 40%
