AN EXTREMELY RARE IMPERIAL GILT-BRONZE 'DRAGON' RITUAL BELL, BIANZHONG
KANGXI CAST MARKS, CORRESPONDING TO 1716, AND OF THE PERIOD
AN EXTREMELY RARE IMPERIAL GILT-BRONZE 'DRAGON' RITUAL BELL, BIANZHONG KANGXI CAST MARKS, CORRESPONDING TO 1716, AND OF THE PERIOD The bell is exquisitely cast with a handle shaped as a pair of dragons. Each beast is powerfully modelled with its mouth open to reveal its tongue between sharp fangs, with two long horns extending back over its head along a finely incised mane, and the large claws clutching the barrel-shaped body of the bell. The sides of the bell are finely cast in high relief around the mid-section, depicting two further dragons striding amidst cloud scrolls and waves clutching a flaming pearl, divided by two rectangular panels, one inscribed with the characters Kangxi wu shi wu nian zhi , 'Made in the 55th year of Kangxi reign', and the other with the characters pei (usually pronounced as bei ) nan lu , indicating that this is one of the bells for lower octaves. 12 in. (30.5 cm.) high
