Nine tripod cauldrons of the Nguyễn dynasty
Nine tripod cauldrons of the Nguyễn dynasty, Bronze ritual vessels at Thế Miếu temple complex, Vietnam
Nine massive tripod cauldrons stand in a row, each measuring over two meters in height and weighing several tons.
The Cabinet of Nguyễn Dynasty commissioned these bronze vessels in 1835 during Emperor Minh Mạng's reign as symbols of imperial authority.
Each cauldron contains intricate bas-relief carvings depicting mountains, rivers, weapons, and natural elements representing different regions of Vietnam.
Visitors can observe the cauldrons daily at the Thế Miếu temple complex, located within the Imperial City of Huế in central Vietnam.
The surface of these bronze monuments displays evidence of advanced metallurgical techniques through precise geometric patterns and detailed regional landscapes.
