    Description

    Antique Japanese Edo Bronze Cymbal.
    Attributed to the Edo Period (1603-1868)
    A domed central boss with hand hammered concentric swirled or cloud motif designs cascading to hobnail or Buddha curl hand hammered repoussé relief band, the smooth ringed edge upturned in a slight curl.
    Originally presented as a pair for liturgical or ceremonial use, likely a priest within a temple. A beautiful very old example of unwesternized musical instruments from Japan, exemplifying the craftsmanship and personal/spiritual nature of the object.
    Condition: Evidence of crude hand forging, possible old repairs, greenish and white patina. Losses. See photos. Sold as is. Wear and damages commensurate with age and use.
    Diameter: 12 1/2” inches.
    Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
