拍品描述
A LARGE BRONZE DOTAKU (BELL), LATE YAYOI PERIOD

Japan, 1st-3rd century

The hollow body designed with rows of horizontal and vertical lines, applied with flanges along the sides and an arch across the top, cast with geometric designs along the handle. The bell produces a good sound when struck.

WEIGHT 10.6 kg
HEIGHT 54.7 cm

Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, expected dents, and small nicks.

Produced during the late Yayoi period, the distinctive clapperless Japanese bronze bells known as dotaku are thought to derive from earlier, smaller Korean examples that adorned horses and other domesticated animals. Dotaku were buried, singly, in pairs, and in large groups—occasionally with bronze mirrors and weapons—in isolated locations, often on hilltops, perhaps to ensure a community's agricultural fertility. Later dotaku had relatively thin walls and would not resonate, so it assumed their purpose was primarily ritual.

Museum literature:
A closely related dotaku (bronze bell) is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 18.68.
