Antique Bronze Elephant Bell, Burma, EBB47
Known in Burma as chu, this spherical bell is an elephant bell from Burma cast in bronze. The bell has been beautifully decorated with a distinctive leaf design and bears the maker’s name in Burmese characters.
A metal ball rolls around inside the bell and sounds against the bell wall with pleasant gentle notes. The bell has a handsome patina and is more expertly decorated than most elephant bells found in Asia. It is in excellent condition without holes or cracks. The bell is hung from a custom built stand.
