Chinese Antique Casting Handbell Made of Copper Alloy / Temple Bell
About the Item
A Chinese antique handbell made of copper alloy.
I think it is from the late Qing dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty.
Although it is a casting, the fine decoration is very beautiful.
The characters are designed to be large, but this is a Sanskrit character.
Buddhism deals with such characters, so I think it was used in temples.
In addition, the plating remains, and you can see that it was originally golden.
There are no major defects.
The condition is good.
There is a ball inside, so when you shake the bell, you will hear a simple sound.
