Small Bronze Buddhist Temple Bell Hanging Bell 'Bonsho' 21.5cm 2kg The uppermost ring-shaped part, known as the dragon's head (Ryuzu) is composed of two beast heads, which meet the upper lid of the bell at the lip of the mouth. This small bronze bonshō temple bell, measuring 21.5 cm and weighing 2 kg, carries the traditional features of Buddhist ritual metalwork in a compact, finely cast form. The upper ring-shaped suspension element is shaped as a paired ryūzu, two beast heads meeting at the mouth to support the crown of the bell—a classical motif symbolizing protection and spiritual authority. The body is decorated with a series of carefully arranged patterns: raised bosses that echo ancient temple bells, floral medallions, and flowing relief designs that create a sense of movement across the surface. Lower sections feature repeating wave-like motifs, adding visual rhythm and grounding the composition. Though modest in scale, the bell has a dignified presence, combining symbolic ornamentation with the quiet resonance associated with Buddhist ceremonial objects.
