From our recent Japanese acquisitions travels.
Here’s an extraordinary opportunity to collect and acquire a Japanese authentic hand cast copper Shinto Suzu bell complete with a long and thick hand crafted pull rope. The big 9″ high bell shows patina from great age, dates to the late 19th century, and was likely used by a member of Japan’s Shinto Buddhist Community where it was authentically rung in Shinto ritual at some time in the distant past.
This is a very nice big old copper casting of a wonderful temple bell and comes complete with a 72 inch pull rope. Authentically used, this Suzu bell was sourced from an old Kyoto Japan collection.
The large old bell dates to the late 19th century period and displays an impressive patina from age.
The Suzu Shinto bell contains pellets that sound when agitated.
At Shinto shrines, large Suzu drape over entrances, as it is said that ringing them calls kami, allowing one to acquire positive power and authority, while repelling evil. Please enjoy an actual photograph of these bells actually installed in situ. (photo)
This bell possesses a beautiful original old patina which highlights its genuine 80+ year old temple life.
Dimensions: The bell with its rope measures 76 inches long. The hand cast, copper bell is 7 inches tall and 5 inches diameter.
Tone: when gentle struck it gives a nice sharp ring
