More Description

This booklet presents a collection of Tang dynasty era ceramics, recovered in the Philippine archipelago, that were produced by the Changsha kilns in China's Hunan province. These ceramics provide evidence of the existence of an Austronesian maritime kingdom, the Kalaga Putuan Crescent (KPC). These ceramics are compared and contrasted to ceramics, from the same kilns, that were salvaged (and now stored in the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore) from the 9th century Belitung shipwreck which sank in the Java Sea.
