The
art of metal work arrived in Indonesia during the Bronze age from South
China. Dong Son bronze drums, dated from as early as the fifth century
BC, have been found throughout the archipelago, and some of them are
believed to have been cast in Bali. The
Dong Son culture is also known for its unique daggers with an
anthropomorphic hilt, which has been compared to the Keris Sajen. But
the source of South Asian metal work dates back to the Chinese Shang
Dynasty, which began to cast bronze somewhere around 2000 to 1800 BC.
This period was extremely rich in beautiful bronze work, including
daggers such item 1 & 2.
