Authentic antique Southeast Asia, Burma (Myanmar), ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A hefty and playable example of a brass meditation nipple gong that hangs from a wood and rope framework. The circular instrument features a thick lateral rim, a relatively flat face, and a protruding central boss which the player would hit to create a drawn-out ringing sound. Included is a wooden mallet with a padded head wrapped in bright orange fabric. The surface is covered in matte brown patina, and the gong creates a pleasing ringing sound when struck with the mallet.
