This is an ancient Chinese bronze <i>duo</i> (bell). Though small, the craftsmanship is meticulous, allowing one to feel the skill of ancient Chinese artisans. The clapper is also carefully made, and even after approximately 2000 years, it still produces a clear, ringing sound. As clappers are often missing when these are unearthed, I believe this is a valuable item. There is a gourd-shaped hole at the top of the <i>duo</i>, but I have seen this hole on other <i>duo</i> as well, so I believe this was likely a hole made during production. The dimensions are approximately 6.8cm wide, 6cm high, and 4.1cm thick. I believe this is a very fine item, so how about it for those who like ancient Chinese art and artifacts?
