The kiln, dating back to the 13th-15th century, was accompanied by a myriad of roof tiles and Cham household items such as bowls, vases and jars.

According to Dinh Ba Hoa, Director of the Binh Dinh Museum, the objects have modest decorations but exhibit a highly sophisticated enamel technique.

The Cham mound kiln relic site was first discovered in 1990 and has since undergone three official excavations.
