Abstract

Bronze drums in general and Dong Son bronze drums in particular are unique cultural heritage attracting the attention of many domestic and international scholars. The issues of origin, distribution and category of bronze drums were specially noticed and much mentioned by researchers in their works. Based on the characteristics and shapes of bronze drums, F. Heger divided them into four main categories, in which Class I (Heger I) dated to the earliest and was considered to be identical to Dong Son bronze drums by researchers. Dong Son bronze drums have been present in distant lands. According to the archaeologists in Southeast Asia, bronze drums were not casted in those lands, but they were brought from North Vietnam. Therefore, the presence of Dong Son bronze drums in Southeast Asia was undoubtedly due to the exchange between these lands with Dong Son residents.
