    Vibrancy in Stone: Masterpieces of the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture, by Trần Kỳ Phương, V. Văn Thắng, and Peter D. Sharrock. Photographs by Paisarn Piemmettawat (Bangkok: River Books, 2018) In 2018, the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) partnered with the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture in central Vietnam to produce a remarkable and visually striking centenary catalogue of its world- renowned collection of the sacred arts of the Cham people of Vietnam. The publication of Vibrancy in Stone: Masterpieces of the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture was timed to coincide with the renovation and expansion of the museum. Beginning in the second century CE, settlements appeared along the central coast of what became Vietnam. The Chams probably migrated over the ocean from Borneo and were accomplished navigators. Their ports were the first call for any ship heading from China to India and the Arab world. Their role in the medieval maritime trade grew steadily and reached an apogee in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when the great neighboring empire of Cambodia declined. The prosperity won from trade led to large scale temple construction earlier than the Cambodians. Figure 1. Map of Cham archaeological sites in Vietnam When tourism resumed in Vietnam after the wars of the twentieth century, the museum quickly became a prime attraction in the port city of Đà Nẵng. It is the world’s only museum devoted exclusively to the art of ancient Champa, the name given to the civilization of the Cham people. With 500 objects on display, its collection far outnumbers those in the Hanoi and Ho chi Minh City History museums, as well as the Musée Guimet in Paris.

  • Vietnamese Ceramics in Asian Maritime Trade Between 14Th and 17Th Centuries
    Vietnamese Ceramics in Asian Maritime Trade between 14th and 17th centuries Ngo The Bach Department of Research and Collections Thang Long - Hanoi Heritage Conservation Centre 19, Hoang Dieu St Hanoi Vietnam Email: [email protected] Abstract Vietnam is one of many Asian countries that have a long-standing and famous tradition of pottery production. Vietnam is also one of three countries including China, Vietnam, and Japan which exported ceramics developed to other countries. The 14th century was marked by the initial penetration of Vietnamese ceramics for foreign markets. The 15th century was considered as a prosperous period for Vietnamese export ceramics with the largest export quantity and the most abundant types thereof. The 16th century marked as a pause in the export of Vietnamese ceramics. The 17th century was the development period of commodity economy and the renaissance period of ports located in the northern and central parts of Vietnam. The article reviewed the findings regarding Vietnamese ceramics in Japan, West Asia, mainland, and insular Southeast Asia in order to partially reconstruct the historical context and the flow of Vietnamese export ceramics for the international maritime trade routes in the Vietnamese history of international trades from 14th to 17th centuries. Given that, the author pointed out the origin, chronology of the Vietnamese ceramics discovered from the relics as well as market context thereof and the destinations of Vietnamese export ceramics. Key words: Vietnamese ceramics, Dai Viet (Great Viet), Northern Vietnam, Southeast Asia, Maritime trade routes, Ceramic export Introduction Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia or Indo-China, with more than 3,000 km of long and beautiful coastline, and is at a crossroads of the exchange routes of the East to the West.

    asian review of world histories 5 (2017) 70–105 Champa Citadels: An Archaeological and Historical Study Đỗ Trường Giang National University of Singapore, Singapore and Institute of Imperial Citadel Studies (IICS) [email protected] Suzuki Tomomi Archaeological Institute of Kashihara, Nara, Japan [email protected] Nguyễn Văn Quảng Hue University of Sciences, Vietnam [email protected] Yamagata Mariko Okayama University of Science, Japan [email protected] Abstract From 2009 to 2012, a joint research team of Japanese and Vietnamese archaeologists led by the late Prof. Nishimura Masanari conducted surveys and excavations at fifteen sites around the Hoa Chau Citadel in Thua Thien Hue Province, built by the Champa people in the ninth century and used by the Viet people until the fifteenth century. This article introduces some findings from recent archaeological excavations undertaken at three Champa citadels: the Hoa Chau Citadel, the Tra Kieu Citadel in Quang Nam Province, and the Cha Ban Citadel in Binh Dinh Province. Combined with historical material and field surveys, the paper describes the scope and structure of the ancient citadels of Champa, and it explores the position, role, and function of these citadels in the context of their own nagaras (small kingdoms) and of mandala Champa as a whole. Through comparative analysis, an attempt is made to identify features characteristic of ancient Champa citadels in general. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2�17 | doi 10.1163/22879811-12340006Downloaded from Brill.com10/09/2021 06:28:08AM via free access Champa Citadels 71 Keywords Cha Ban – Champa – citadel – Hoa Chau – Thanh Cha – Thanh Ho – Thanh Loi – Tra Kieu Tra Kieu Citadel in Quang Nam Among the ancient citadels of Champa located in central Vietnam, the Tra Kieu site in Quang Nam has generally been identified as the early capital, and thus has attracted the interest of many scholars.

  • (Khmer Ceramics (Singapore, Oxford
    Khmer Ceramics 2 From the dust jacket: Amongst the wealth of ceramic ware from South-East Asia, the ceramics of the Khmer empire of Angkor are probably the least well- known, just as this aspect of the art and culture of that great civilization is also the least explored. In this important contribution to the growing body of literature on the ceramics of the region, the author presents the first comprehensive study of Khmer ceramics to be published. The study examines the background, influences, characteristics, shapes and uses of this branch of the ceramic industry and provides the reader with a composite picture of the Khmer contribution to the craft. The volume is lavishly illustrated with twenty-five colour plates and more than one hundred black and white pictures and drawings of examples of Khmer ware, providing examples many of which are in private collections and therefore not accessible to the general public. Dr. Dawn Rooney is an art historian and presently lives and works in Bangkok. Jacket illustrations: Front Pot; diam. 6 cm; first half i2th century; brown monochrome.
