A DÔNG SON HEGER I DRUM TOPPED BY FOUR FROGS

The Heger I type drum showcases a captivating design featuring a circular band of flying cranes rotating in an anti-clockwise direction around a central star motif. Another band showcases stylized representations of feathermen. The body of the drum exhibits an inward slanting profile, a characteristic commonly found in the Red River delta, which serves as the homeland of the Dong Son culture and its people.
