Đinh Văn Hùng

Silversmith · Định Công village · Third generation

A lotus bud built in silver thread, the way Định Công has built things since the sixth century: wire drawn finer than a hair, twisted and flattened, laid inside a frame and soldered with a mouth-blown flame, the joins set with silver beans.

They weigh almost nothing. That is the point of filigree.
