Provenance
Donated by Max Henry Ferrars (1846-1933), presumably on 13 September 1907 Ferrars worked as a forester and land commissioner in the British colonial service in what is now Myanmar. The available documents on the gong are not clear, but it is reasonable to assume that Ferrars acquired the object from the Rangoon-based merchant A. Scott. No further details are available on the circumstances of the purchase.
