Large Bronze Dancing Shiva, Nataraja, 19th/20th Century, South India
Located in Austin, TX
A heavy and well cast South Indian bronze figure of Shiva Nataraja, or Shiva as Lord of the Dance, in the Chola style, late 19th or early 20th century, India. Shiva is portrayed here in his form as Nataraja, the Lord of the Dance.

In one hand he holds a damaru, or ritual drum...

Located in South Burlington, VT
For your special garden setting or indoor display space. Big Hand Cast Bronze Bell Bold pleasing, and resonating sound. 21 Inches Tall. Dated Taisho 15= 1926 , December 12 Signed for patron donors at Imari Ikishima Donors include: Fukui Sano and Fukui shie, Tomiyama kazuki,and Nichimao . Handsome original old green patina- just the way we like to find them. Signed by patron donors in two areas. Beautiful deep resonating ring tones await the new owner of this big one-of-a-kind vintage bronze bell from old Japan. Its beautiful natural patina makes it an attractive and desirable work of art. This distinctive dragon headed bell called ryuzu and remarkable protrusions called chi chi or nyu are crafted by generations old skilled Japanese specialists to improve sound resonance and are unique to Japan's ancient traditions. This antique hand cast bronze temple bell dates to the Taisho period, early 20th century. A scarce survivor, this rugged bell was gently used. Please note its impressive cast dragon headed top ryuzu, thick walls and original dark patina. Dimensions: 21 inches tall and 11 inches diameter. It has been used and possesses an original green aged patina appropriate to its age. Its deep resonating sound is guaranteed to please you. About Bonsho Bells "Voice of Buddha" The earliest bells date to around 600 AD, although the general design is of much earlier Chinese origin and shares some of the features seen in ancient Chinese bells. Their penetrating and pervasive tone carries over considerable distances. The sound of the bell is thought to have supernatural properties. It is believed, for example, that it can be heard in the underworld. In Japanese ceremonies, hanging bells are used for signaling during the prayer and for calling Buddhists to worship. In China, similar bells were employed in ensembles, where they represented the yin, or "receptive" principle, and were sounded after the beat of a large drum (yang, or "creative" element). The Japanese bonsho...
