Note: Iron age earthenware objects exhibit a number of local variations in south central Vietnam. The group shown here, when compared to other Sa Huỳnh ceramics, displays a finer workmanship; with balanced shapes, precise potting, neatly impressed and incised designs, carefully applied and partially burnished surfaces. The amount of decoration and the fact that all four jars were retrieved from the same burial indicates that they served a ritual or ceremonial purpose. More elaborate then everyday utilitarian ware, they likely held food for the deceased in the afterlife.

inVessel in the Form of a Horn,Vietnam (Sa Huỳnh culture?), ca. 500 B.C.–A.D. 100. Stone. H. 2 3/4 (7 cm); Diam. 2 1/4 in. (5.7 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Purchase, Rogers Fund, Josephine L. Berger-Nadler and Dr. M. Leon Canick Gift, and John and Evelyn Kossak Foundation Inc. Gift, 1999 (1999.276) © 2000–2016 The Metropolitan Museum of Art
This enigmatic object in the shape of a horn with a curled end is related in stone type and patina to two forms of earrings—one circular and the other with addorsed horned animals—associated with the Sa Huỳnh culture of southern Vietnam. One end of the « horn » has been carved to form a small cavity that could have been used to hold a liquid. It is possible that this delicate sculpture was a funerary object intended to replace a more perishable horn item. Little understood and known only through archaeological excavations, the Sa Huỳnh culture is thought to have played an important role in the trade in luxury goods—ceramics, metalwork, and stone goods—that flourished between different regions of mainland and island Southeast Asia.

The archaeological site.
An archeological team from Viet Nam Archaeology Institute found five stone axes believed to come from the 3,000-year-old Sa Huynh Culture at a Khue Bac communal house garden in the central city.
The communal house lies at the foot of the Ngu Hanh Son Mountains (Marble Mountains), 15km from the city centre.
Ho Tan Tuan, director of the city’s Heritage Management Centre, said yesterday that the team unearthed the axes on Wednesday while digging a second pit in the garden.
« The excavation, which began on May 16, provides more details on the appearance of the Sa Huynh Culture and the early Cham in the area, » Tuan said.
« The team is digging a larger pit in the hopes of finding more items in this second excavation of the garden. »
Tuan said archaeologists found hundreds of coins, ceramic pieces and stone fragments at the first 100sq.m pit, dug in 2001.
Archaeologist Pham Van Trieu said the stone axes, ceramics and stones would have come from the Early Cham in the second and third centuries.
« Items found from in the two excavations prove two cultures – the Early Cham and the Sa Huynh – existed in the garden of the Khue Bac communal house, » Trieu said.
« The discovery also revealed that the upper layer was the Early Cham and the second was the Sa Huynh.«
Trieu said figures on the coins also proved that Chinese traders did business in the region in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The excavation also proved the existence of people before the Sa Huynh, and the connection between the Sa Huynh and Cham.
The archaeological team will continue to search the garden, and announce their final results early next month.
Between 2012 and 2014, archaeologists from Ha Noi’s University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Da Nang’s Cham Sculpture Museum found foundations of Cham tower complexes in Qua Giang and Phong Le Village in Hoa Vang District.
The towers were built to honour the Champa King, who ruled the region between the fourth and 13th centuries. (Source VNS)
