Buddhist Temple Bells, Strikers and Pillows

 


These hand pounded temple bells (sometimes referred to as gongs) come from Buddhist temples in Japan.  They were meant to sit on a table or small pillow, and struck with a leather covered wooden striker.  They date to the 1800s and have a wonderful patina and sound.  We recently received a bevy of bells directly from Japan,  please all us at 503-224-0328 and we will strike them for you.
