The National Museum of the Philippines has announced that it will be holding a lecture on Khmer ceramics, led by Dr. Yukitsugu Tabata from the Faculty of Letters, Arts, and Sciences at Waseda University in Japan.
In the lecture titled “Introduction to Khmer Stoneware: The Oldest Stoneware Industry in Southeast Asia,” Tabata will share his expertise on Khmer ceramics, a ceramic art and pottery tradition from Cambodia that dates back to the third millennium BCE. Khmer ceramics played a significant role in trade between Cambodia and its Southeast Asian neighbors.
