19th century Burmese bronze temple bell with original carved hardwood stand, painted iron hanging bracket, and striker. This rare large scale cast bronze bell has a splendid sculptural and spiritual presence. The bell has a long inscription on the upper part. The offering of a bronze bell to a monastery or temple was considered second only to the offering of a Buddha image as an act of merit (kutho).

Casting of such bells was auspicious with specific rituals being performed by the caster and sponsors to ensure the appropriate blessings. The bell here, as with all such Burmese bells...

A quite wonderfully designed, expertly crafted Tsuba - Japanese sword hand guard often circular, sometimes square, which emerged as an essential part of Japanese sword craftsmanship during the Heian period (794–1185). Initially crafted from iron or bronze, over time they became more decorative in nature and more for show as the waring Samurai clans disbanded and became part of Japan's past. The particular Tsuba features a Tenpo school (sometimes spelled or referred to as Tenbo/Tempo/Tembo. The Saotome School gave rise to the Tenpo School ) Kokuin hot stamp design with the Japanese Kanji character "Sei" (which translates as "Justice") repeated multiple times on both sides of the Tsuba and intricate decorative brass inlay. Very eye catching and quite unique as we have not seen another like it. The dark rich aged patina, expert craftsmanship, and uniqueness of design makes this quite an appealing work. The work comes with a wooden storage box. The piece is likely from the early to mid Edo Period (1603-1868) but perhaps older. A relatively large Tsuba with a great feel to it. Would be a great addition to any Tsuba or Japanese Asian sword...
