SKU# 5440120

Hand-pounded and etched with dragons, this bronze gong looks as good as it sounds. Artisans working with Mai Handicrafts crafted this gong from waste copper found in cast-off utensils, pots and weapons. The gong is a traditional form of percussion used in communities and pagodas in Vietnam. The skills used to make the gong are ancient, passed on through generations.

“This place [Dai Bai ward] is well known for bronze casting," says artisan Nguyen The Trung. “Artisans here are proud of their skill. We are honored to keep our tradition and culture alive with our skill.” Copper artisans in Dai Bai ward also earn vital income through the sale of their products to Ten Thousand Villages.
