Antique Bronze Asian Temple Bell – Ornate Engraved 8” Ceremonial Bell

This beautifully detailed antique bronze bell features ornate floral and geometric engravings along with a central scene depicting a seated figure beneath a canopy. The craftsmanship suggests East or Southeast Asian origins and a likely ceremonial or altar use.
The bell has a rich, dark patina consistent with aged bronze, and the weight (3 lbs) gives it a solid, substantial feel. The internal clapper is intact, and the bell produces a deep, resonant tone when struck. The handle is sculpted in a stylized, decorative form that adds to its presence and character.
