The ongoing exhibit of Philippine precolonial gold at Asia Society New York received a glowing review in the Sept. 24 issue of The New York Times. Writer Ken Johnson describes the pieces in “Philippine Gold: Treasures of Forgotten Kingdoms” as created by “astoundingly skillful goldsmiths.”
When the exhibit of gold artifacts from the Philippines opens at the Asia Society Museum in New York City next month, visitors will be astounded by the quality and intricacy of the pieces. The fact that they date from the 10th to the 13th centuries should be even more cause for amazement.
