AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a miniature replica of a traditional Japanese temple bell (Buddhist bell), cast using the lost-wax method. It is a folk craft product from the late Showa to early Heisei eras of Japan. The bell features a double dragon-head hanging ring at the top, a unique design for Japanese temple bells, symbolizing protection and good fortune. The bell body is decorated with relief dragon and floral patterns and decorative borders, while the base features a lotus petal design, faithfully reproducing the classic form of a Japanese temple bell. A gentle tap on the original chain's hammer produces a clear, resonant sound. The overall condition is good; the bronze parts have a natural patina and signs of wear, with no obvious damage, cracks, or deformation. The chain and hammer are intact and function normally.
