Funerary urns; Vietnam, possibly XVII- XVIII centuries. Bronze. They show wear and rust. They have marks on the base. Measurements: 24 x 9 x 9 x 9 cm; 25 x 8 x 8 x 8 cm. Pair of urns made in bronze with the same design of circular base, body that increases in diameter in height and lid with conical finish. The quality of the relief stands out in both cases. Although it is different in the two urns, in both cases it represents a hunter with a bow trying to capture an animal that seems to be a snake. Their format and even the ornamentation indicate that they are funerary urns. The golden age of Vietnamese art was that of the Sham kingdoms (200-1720), although today it is a relatively little studied civilization. To a large extent, this is because the great achievements of Vietnamese culture are to be found not in the fine arts, but in literature. Nevertheless, a brilliant artistic industry developed, although deeply marked by the aesthetic, philosophical and religious ideas of China. However, some genuine artistic manifestations were maintained, such as the water puppetry, and there will also emerge distinctly Vietnamese phenomena such as Caodaism, a sect originated in 1919. They show wear and rust. They have marks on the base.
