Japanese Old Little Bronze Hanging Bell / 1900-1960 / Traditional Design

About the Item

In Japan, it is a small bronze bell from the Taisho era to the first half of the Showa era. It's small, but it has a beautiful design. This design has been around for hundreds of years and hasn't changed much. It is the same as the design of the big bell used in temples. Because it is small, it can be placed anywhere. There are no big scratches. This item is a type of bell that is struck by a small mallet. When ringing the bell, pass a string through the tip and hang it up. A mallet is not included, so please prepare your own. Weight: 1 kg.

  • Chinese Ming Iron Bell with Dragon Handle, c. 1600
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This monumental Ming-dynasty bell once pealed in a Chinese village, sounding out in celebration or giving notice of important events. Expertly forged, the cast-iron bell is detailed with characters in intricate relief, and its exaggerated scallop rim is traced with oversized rivets. Covered in scales and ending in expressive faces, the bell's handle is cast in the form of a two-headed hong dragon, thought to be the embodiment of a rainbow and thus visible only after rainfall. Frosted with snow or lit from within by flickering candles, this sculptural bell takes on a magical presence in the winter garden.
