Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $300**

Southeast Asia, Burma, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A handsome and playable brass gong of massive form hanging from a mahogany wood and rope framework, accompanied by a wooden mallet. Burmese gongs are recognizable because of their prominent boss (nipple) in the center, just slightly recessed from the rest of the gong body. This example features an elevated circle and 3 raised dashes surrounding the hemispherical boss. The rich patina is deliberately left even when the gongs are played or is sometimes selectively cleaned away to create patterns, such as stars and lotus flowers. Size: 15.1" W x 33.7" H (38.4 cm x 85.6 cm)

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hawaii, USA collection, 2000
