Item Details
Description
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. late 19th to early 20th century. This is an interesting percussion instrument known as a paiban used as a clapper, constructed from 3 large hardwood slats connected via a ribbon through the center. The end panels are flat on one side and the outward face has a low midrib running from tip to tip. The center clapper is the thickest and completely flat on both sides. The slats are loosely tied with a red silk ribbon through the perforations towards the base or handle end. The paiban is held vertically with one hand and clacked together, creating the sharp claps which are often paired with drums, Chinese story-singing, and opera. Size: 10.6" L x 2.6" W (26.9 cm x 6.6 cm)

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, 1990s to 2000s; ex-Hawaiian collection
