拍品描述 翻译
A LARGE BRONZE RAIN DRUM, MAHORA THUK, AYUTTHAYA PERIOD, 14TH-17TH CENTURYSoutheast Asia, Thailand or Laos. The flat top is centered by an eight-rayed star medallion, its beams alternating with stylized petals and enclosed within concentric registers of blossoms, fish, birds, and geometric motifs, with four frogs applied along the rim. The sides flare outward and are fitted with a pair of double-strap handles, the surface carefully organized in bands of geometric and foliate ornament.Provenance: Collection of Dr. Helmut Ploog, Munich, Germany, assembled from 1965 and thence by descent. Dr. Helmut Ploog (1940-2024) was among the most influential and respected graphologists in the German-speaking world. Over the course of a distinguished career as an expert witness, educator, and author, he published a series of seminal works that are now regarded as standard references in the study of handwriting and character analysis. Beyond his professional achievements, Ploog cultivated a deep commitment to the arts. He assembled a notable collection of Asian art, including significant Chinese and Thai works. He donated part of his collection, among them several important Khmer sculptures, to the Weltmuseum in Vienna.Condition: Good condition with expected old wear, casting irregularities, old soldering marks and fills, small repairs, dents, small bruises, losses and minor warping. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown patina with malachite encrustations.Weight: 16.3 kg Dimensions: Diameter 60.2 cm, Height 48 cmBronze drums, which have been unearthed throughout Southeast Asia and parts of southern China, represent one of the oldest continuous musical traditions. These beautifully decorated instruments are made in sections by the lost-wax casting method and topped by a bronze tympanum instead of a skin head. The most ancient examples date from the Bronze Age Dong Son culture (late fourth century BC) in present day northern Vietnam; they were used in and buried during funerary rituals. It is believed that some were tuned and used in ensembles. Even today the drums, known by various names, play an important role in the cultural life of the Karen people in Burma and Thailand and for other groups in Guangzi and Yunnan, China.The drum's flat tympanum is commonly decorated with a central star encircled by concentric bands filled with stylized animals, domestic scenes, or geometric motifs. The Karen are animists and believe that the drums' sound placates mountain spirits (nats), who then bring good fortune. The drums are also used to summon ancestors to aid the living, as well as to bring rain, as indicated by the frogs depicted on the cardinal points of many tympana. Scholars debate the drums' significance and importance but agree that they provide a window into the technology, customs, and beliefs of ancient Southeast Asia.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bronze rain drum with a similar star decoration at the center, dated 14th-17th century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 66.38.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 21 March 2015, lot 1011 Price: USD 32,500 or approx.
