The collection
Liṅga with four heads
The Zelnik Collection was founded by his father that has been enlarged since by Dr Zelnik continuously by artifacts from Europe, Africa and Asia. At present it contains some sixteen thousand Southeast Asian items, including more than two thousand gold and silver artifacts; most of them have come from eleven countries of Myanmar/Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines and Timor Leste.
Dr. Zelniks’s aims are both to educate the general public and to encourage academic research on the objects accumulated during his adult life. These have been carefully and patiently selected over the past forty years. Four pillars of the Zelnik Collection that are unique in the world are golden artifacts of the Cham kingdoms, the Khmer Empire, the tribal chiefdoms of the Vietnamese, Indochinese and Southeast Asian Highlands and gold masks of Asia. Future publications of the Zelnik Collection will include individual books on Cham silver and bronze. There will in addition come out soon publications on Đông Sơn bronzes.
