• 19TH C. BURMESE BRONZE MEDITATION
  19TH C. BURMESE BRONZE MEDITATION GONG + MALLET**First Time At Auction** Southeast Asia, Burma, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A fine and playable bronze gong hanging from a mahogany wood and rope framework. Also a wooden mallet with a fabulous bright orange fabric covering. Burmese gongs are recognizable because of their prominent boss (nipple) in the center, just slightly recessed from the rest of the gong body. The patina is deliberately left even when the gongs are played, or is sometimes selectively cleaned away to create patterns like lotus flowers or stars. Size: 10.8" W x 25.3" H (27.4 cm x 64.3 cm) The shape of the Burmese gong is one of the most recognizable. They are normally made from bronze and have a prominent round boss sitting on a slightly convex curving face with the edge of the boss being slightly recessed. There is a prominent lip moving over to a gently inwardly sloping rim which is deep - usually 1.5" (3cm) to 5" (12cm) depending on the size of the gong. The oxidized layer is left on the metal and can either be slate grey, black or bottle green in color. The oxidized layer is often scraped to reveal various patterns, with lotus flower petals or star flower mandala patterns being the most common.
