AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description – Antique bossed gong (not a collection scale)
Antique bossed gong / hand gong – bronze / brass – circa 1880–1920 – Ø 22 cm
This object is not a collection plate, but an authentic small bossed gong (handgong). This is clearly recognizable by the raised central knob (boss), the concentric hand-hammered surface, and the mounting provision on the edge, allowing the gong to resonate freely during use.
Such gongs were traditionally used as signal, temple, or ritual gongs, both in religious contexts and in household or ceremonial environments. The central boss provides a clear, focused sound in contrast to flat cymbals.
Materials & Techniques
Hand-hammered bronze or pewter.
Visible hammer structure in concentric rings.
Beautiful natural oxidation and warm patina, completely in line with age.
