拍品描述
Japan. Superbly cast of chevron-shaped form with scalloped borders flaring out at the bottom corners, neatly decorated on both sides with phoenixes and a central lotus blossom, all within a stippled border. At the top are two loops to allow suspension with a cord.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, casting irregularities, tiny nicks and small dents. A fine, naturally grown, dark patina.Weight: 1,790 g Dimensions: Height 17 cm, Length 27 cmThe kei gong is a ritual instrument used in Buddhist practice, struck to signal transitions and punctuate chants and ceremonies. Gongs of this type remain in regular use in Buddhist temples today. The kei originated in ancient China as a musical instrument made of stone with resonant acoustic properties, carved in asymmetrical chevron shapes and suspended in graded sets to produce a full musical scale. How these early stone instruments became incorporated into Buddhist ritual remains uncertain. In Japanese Buddhism, however, kei gongs are typically cast in metal rather than stone and take on a perfectly symmetrical chevron form.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bronze ritual gong (kei) with similar decoration, dated to the 17th century, 23.2 cm (long), in the Cornell University, object number 2013.035.004. Compare two related but earlier ritual gongs (kei), dated to the 12th and 12-14th century, in the Tokyo National Museum and Seattle Art Museum, collection reference number E-19890 and 72.2.
