The timeless beauty of two rare bronze temple gongs with a circular form and raised center. Used in religious rituals, the two gongs present as one male and one female, each releasing different tonal resonance and complex harmonics. Their sonorous sound stimulates and revitalizes invoking devotional practices. Three ring supports and a rich brown veined patina.

For comparison, see a similar gong in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/37731
