Decorated Antique Bronze Buffalo Bell Burma EBB100

$595.00

This is among the most charming bells we have offered to date. Cast in bronze during the mid-late 19th century, this buffalo or cattle bell is from Mandalay, Burma where it is referred to as hka-lauk. It is decorated with a scrolling design on both sides in an attractive pattern that we have not seen before.  The bronze has a lovely patina with some green oxidization. The ‘ears’ of the bell are well worn as is the rim of the bell where the clappers strike. It hangs from a quality custom built stand, which is included.

In Burma, the tradition of blacksmithing has always been an honoured occupation associated with courage, strength and integrity. The Burmese excelled at bronze casting using the lost wax method or cire perdue and their handsome decorated bronze bells have long attracted the interest of visitors to Burma and collectors of Southeast Asian antiques.
