Discovered at Ngoc Lu Viet Nam in 1901
63 centimetres high, 79 centimetres in diameter,
and of cylindrical shape. In the middle of the
upper face is an image of the sun with radiating
beams, and sixteen concentric rings with the most
various decorations: geometrical patterns, flocks
of deer and aquatic birds, human figures, some
playing musical instruments, others pounding rice,
others beating drums. The men are clad in garments
made of feathers of aquatic birds, which give them
an aspect of bird-men with probably a totemic
significance. They dance to the tune of clappers.
There are also small buildings and houses on stilts
and, on a circular swelling below the head, boats
and warriors carrying axes, javelins and arrows.
