Edit History

liuzhou

The Zhuang ethnic minority, most of whom live here in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, to give the full name, are famous for their bronze work, especially bronze drums and other musical instruments, which they have been making for at least 2,700 years. They did and still do make bronze wine flasks and cooking vessels, too. Some of the cooking vessels are 'Dutch ovens' in everything but name. The vessels are not used today for everyday cooking but are still used in some religious rituals and other festivals.

 

Guangxi Provincial Museum, in the capital, Nanning has numerous examples on display as does Liuzhou Museum five minutes from my home.  Here are a few pictures taken there.
