Antique Japanese Buddhist Temple Hanging Yoraku Bronze Gilt Bell Ornament BT231

This is an antique “Yoraku” (Buddhist ceremonial pendant) that was once used in a Japanese temple.
Yoraku are sacred decorative ornaments suspended from the canopies above Buddhist statues or from temple ceilings. Made of chains and intricately crafted openwork metal elements, they serve both as spiritual symbols and as ornamental pieces in Buddhist art.

This particular piece is made of bronze and features delicate openwork details, with multiple decorative components linked by chains. The aged patina adds to its historical character and quiet dignity.
