I'm reaching out regarding a large Southeast Asian bronze vessel I’d like your team to evaluate. The piece is substantial (about 32 lbs) and measures approximately 39 inches long, 11 inches high, and 6 inches wide. It features a dragon‑form head with a hinged lid, a long body with geometric and scale‑like ornamentation, side rings, and internal hinged panels. The casting appears to be heavy lost‑wax work, and the surface retains an undisturbed green patina. The overall form suggests ceremonial or architectural use, but I’m not certain of the specific cultural attribution. I’ve attached a full set of high‑resolution photos showing the head, body, hinge structure, interior panels, and decorative motifs. Could you let me know if this is something the Asian Art department might be able to evaluate, and what the next steps would be for a formal appraisal or potential consignment? Thanks, Jim Jim Denson 201-567-4569 (Home), 201-403-4837 (cell) 29 buff rd, Tenafly, NJ 07670
