Japanese Vintage Bronze Shrine Bell, Handcrafted Metal Suzu (H9.1in/H23cm)

Since ancient times in Japan, it has been believed that the sound of a bell invites and purifies the gods. In this sense, the bell is an important tool for connecting with the gods.

At many shrines, a large copper bell is hung in the center of the worship hall. It is draped with hemp rope and red, white, or five-colored cloth, and worshippers ring it by shaking it. This is a kind of prayer signal.

This is a very old and beautiful bell. The hand-hammered marks on the surface remain beautifully preserved, and it is an excellent piece of workmanship. The copper is thick, giving it weight, presence, and a sense of luxury. There are some dents, but these are also interesting, and the bell is in good condition.
