Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Southeast Asia, Burma (Myanmar), ca. 19th century. A fascinating brass kyeezee or gong of triangular form with two flat sides and a hole drilled near the top for suspension. Resembling the silhouette of a robed Buddha sitting cross-legged in meditation, this musical instrument is vertically symmetrical with a slightly rounded bottom, curled up corners, six protruding decorative tabs forming four tiers, and a rounded cap. Often used for meditation, the kyeezee produces a piercing bell-like tone when struck and a warbling effect when spun. A beautiful piece of devotional and religious art! Size: 13.375" L x .75" W x 9.375" H (34 cm x 1.9 cm x 23.8 cm)
