The first of 100 bronze kettledrums created by artisans in Thanh Hoa Province

Bronze artisans in the north central province of Thanh Hoa have begun to make 100 kettledrums for the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi, scheduled to be held next December.

The kettledrums, which will carry the image of Hanoi’s Mot Cot (one pillar) Pagoda, will be finished next August.

The work is being carried out by six organizations including the Cultural Heritage Society of Vietnam.
