For your consideration today is this one of 3 Bronze Chinese Dragon Rain Drums. I am helping a friend to sell these so using the information provided. These 3 very similar drums are identified as Fertility Drums with Dragons, Snail supports for a potential glass top, and a spider type fertility symbol in the top center. This is a reproduction of a fertility artifact of the Dong Son culture that shows various symbols of power and fertility. While there are ...some minor imperfections and what appear to be stress fractures, these occurred when it was fired and have not changed in over 40 years in the owners possession. The glass top that is pictured with the drum will not be shipped with the drum unless you organize your own shipper or collect locally. Glass will not survive typical shipping. The 3 drums each measure approximately 22" in diameter and 19" in height to the top of the snails otherwise it would be closer to 18" for the height. These pieces are at least 40 years old according to the seller and he is unsure of their history prior to his acquisition. See photos for mostquestions and i am happy to answer any questions i am able about theitem. Proceeds from this andall other ebay sales help to supplement my science classroom purchases ofmaterials and equipment. Thank a teacher and shop generouslyand let your friends know about ebayseller esteem1 . Whileprices are very competitive they are still mostly negotiable as some funds beatno funds for my class. Have a great day. DamienAnthony.
