PENELITIAN AWAL TERHADAP MOTIF HIASAN TIMPANUM GENDANG GANGSA TIMBANG DAYANG, PULAU BANGGI, SABAH (PRELIMINARY RESEARCH ON DECORATION OF MOTIFS ON BRONZE DRUM TYMPANUM FROM TIMBANG DAYANG, PULAU BANGGI, SABAH)
Abstract
Abstrak
Penemuan Gendang Gangsa Timbang Dayang (GGTD) telah memberi impak yang signifikan kepada kajian Zaman Dongson di Malaysia khususnya di Sabah. Sebelumnya, gendang gangsa hanya ditemui di Semenanjung Malaysia iaitu di Sungai Lang, Selangor; Batu Burok, Kuala Terengganu; Tembeling, Pahang; dan Bukit Kuda, Klang, Selangor. Manakala penemuan lain di Borneo ialah dua buah gendang gangsa yang ditemui di Sambas, Kalimantan Barat. GGTD yang berkondisi 30% sempurna dan rapuh kini dipamerkan di Muzium Sabah. Kondisi fizikal ini telah menyukarkan proses kajian fizikalnya khususnya pengecaman motif yang terdapat pada permukaan timpanum dan mantel gendang. Lantaran itu, proses pendokumentasian fizikal gendang ini perlu dilakukan sebelum sebarang usaha konrservasi atau restorasi dilakukan. Sehubungan dengan itu, makalah ini memfokuskan kepada perbincangan mengenai motif dan pola hiasan yang terdapat pada gendang ini. Kajian seumpama ini sangat penting bagi memberikan data dan nilai terhadap gendang ini. Diharapkan dengan adanya kajian ini dapat memberikan penjelasan terkini mengenai hiasan pada timpanum dan meletakkan GGTD setara dengan kajian gendang gangsa yang lain.
Kata kunci: Gendang gangsa, Sabah, motif, pola hiasan.
Abstract
The discovery of Gendang Gangsa Timbang Dayang (GGTD) has a significant impact on Dongson Age studies in Malaysia. Before the discovery of GGTD, bronze drums were found in Peninsular Malaysia such as in Sungai Lang, Selangor; Batu Burok, Kuala Terengganu; Tembeling, Pahang; and Bukit Kuda, Klang, Selangor. In Borneo, another two others bronze drums were found in Sambas, West Kalimantan. GGTD is now displayed at the Sabah State Museum with 70% of the drum damaged. The physical condition rendered it difficult to conduct a physical examination especially in identifying the motifs on the tympanum surface and drum mantel. Therefore, the physical documentation of the drum is required before any conservation or restoration effort could be done. Accordingly, this paper attempts to provide a brief discucussion on the motifs and decorative patterns on the drum tympanum. This study is vital to provide data and some values and also can provide the latest information about GGTD tympanum motifs.
Keywords: Bronze drum, Sabah, motifs, decorative patterns
