Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $350**
Southeast Asia, Burma, ca. 19th century CE. A fine and playable example of bronze nipple gong boasting a lotus flower lightly incised into the patina around the raised "nipple" at the center, all hanging from a mahogany wood and rope framework, and accompanied by a wooden mallet with a fabulous bright orange fabric covering. Burmese gongs are recognizable because of their prominent boss (nipple) in the center, just slightly recessed from the rest of the gong body. The patina is deliberately left even when the gongs are being played or is sometimes selectively cleaned away to create patterns like lotus flowers or stars as here. Size: 19.1" W x 41.2" H (48.5 cm x 104.6 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hawaii, USA collection, 2000
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
