Yesterday, Nanning's Institute of International Folk Music, the Tourism
Bureau and the Culture Bureau of Baise City set up the world's largest
ancient copper drum sculpture in the Baise Train Station's plaza. The
copper drum was discovered in the Putuo Tomb, Xilin County, in 1972. With
a diameter of 77.5 centimeters and a height of 52-centimeters, it is of
the Shizaishan type. Decorated with Duchan, Yuren and Egret designs, the
drum bears profound cultural implications for Baise. The gigantic
sculpture is an enlarged replica modeled on the drum. It has a diameter
of 13.6 meters, a height of 15.6-meters, is 8.9-meters thick, and weights
32 tons.
