Japanese Anqitue Kongo Bell Gilt-bronze Vajra Tray Kongoban Buddhist Buddhism

It's a very clear and wonderful sound.
Gilt-bronze Vajra Tray (Vajra board)&vajra bell
It's probably from the 19th century.
Such old Buddhist implements rarely come onto the market.
Items that were actually used in temples occasionally appear for sale.
The handle of the bell, which was held by monks during Goma rituals, has become quite shiny due to human oils and the like, so its color differs from the bottom.
The engraved designs, unique to Buddhism, are made with much more precision and care compared to other items.

The vajra board is placed on the platform or table where the practice is conducted, and is used as a platform to hold the vajra bell and vajra pestle. Usually, it is made in the form of a tripod attached to an irregular, almost triangular, four-sided vajra board.
