Pair of Indonesian Bronze Moko Drums - Ideal for Side Table Conversion
A stunning and highly decorative matching pair of traditional Indonesian "Moko" ritual bronze drums, purchased on-site 29 years ago (1997). The drums feature an exceptional, rich natural "verdigris" patina ( blue-green bronze oxidation) providing an outstanding aesthetic appeal. Each drum is elaborately cast showing geometric registers and full-body anthropomorphic hocker figures in relief. The distinctive side handles are finely detailed with a classic herringbone pattern. The top tympanum displays a beautiful central 10-pointed star motif surrounded by concentric bands of geometric meander patterns.
Interior Design Note:
The tympanums are equipped with pre-drilled holes, perfect for adding suction cups to convert the drums into unique side tables or sculptural plant stands. Please note: Glass tops are not included in the shipping to ensure maximum safety during transit;buyers can easily source them locally at a very low cost.
Dimensions (each drum):
- height: approx. 60 cm
- Tympanum diameter: approx. 30cm
- Condition: excellent vintage condition with a solid structure and a beautifully textured original patina.
