Description
Nepal, ca. 18th century CE. This is a beautiful bronze bell with a simple and elegant design of some kind of flying creature -- probably a dragon -- with a horse-like head and a snake- or fish-like tail. The body of the animal forms a loop to use as a comfortable handle. The body of the bell has some incised linear design and the clapper is still present, so it is functional. Size: 6.1" W x 7.7" H (15.5 cm x 19.6 cm).
Provenance: Ex-Paul and Louise Bernheimer, Cambridge, MA and Laguna Woods, CA, acquired before 1980.
