A four-month exhibition at Hanoi’s National History Museum is showcasing almost 140 priceless pieces of ancient Vietnamese jewellery.
Opened on August 30, the exhibition hopes to help domestic and international visitors improve their understandings of the development of Vietnamese aesthetics throughout the different periods of its history.
The display includes pieces dating back to the prehistoric cultures of Dong Son, Sa Huynh, and Oc Eo, shaped from materials ranging from crystal, stone, and gems to metal and even bone.
One of its highlights is a rare collection of royal Nguyen dynasty gold, silver, jade, ivory, and tortoiseshell jewellery. The workmanship of these pieces represents the peak of the jeweller’s craft.
National History Museum Deputy Director Nguyen Dinh Chien noted the exhibition’s pieces are selected from thousands of years ago right up until the early 20th century.
