Bas-reliefs on the Nine Bronze Urns in Hue Imperial Palace
The bas-reliefs on the Nine Bronze Urns at the Hue Imperial Palace have been recognised as documentary heritage of the Asia-Pacific region by the Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Committee (MOWCAP).
An exhibition named “The Vietnam land shown on the Nine Dynasty Urns” was held at the Hue Imperial Citadel (Dai Noi) in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue on June 16.
The Nine Dynastic Urns, built in late 1835 and completed in early 1837, was recognised as a national treasure in 2012, and considered the most valuable bronze objects in Vietnam.
The Nine Dynastic Urns placed in front of the The Mieu Yard in the Hue Imperial Citadel have long become important objects of many domestic and international researchers.
