Large Khmer Bronze Elephant Bell – Angkor Wat 12th C, Cambodia

Material : Bronze. Condition: Very good condition with green and brown patina overall (Please see photos for more detail) The bell still has a rattle in side. There are some expected corrosions as a consequence of age.

Size : Height : 25cm x Diameter : 19cm

Note : This bell still have original clapper. This is an original and authentic Khmer bronze Elephant bell. It was made to hang around the neck of the elephant. On the top it has an attachment ring that is surrounded by circular rings and on the bottom a decoration of motifs and acanthus leaves.

Two prominent ridges projected from the surface serve to keep the main body of the bell from touching the elephant’s skin and dulling its tone. Inside the bell there is a loose pellet which acts as a rattle when the elephant moves. These types of large bells can be seen hanging from the necks of elephants depicted in numerous Khmer bas-reliefs at Angkor, and on elephants represented in Khmer twelfth-century ceramics. The Khmer are the ancient inhabitants of Cambodia.

From the 7th to the 14th centuries they established a powerful kingdom based at Angkor from which they ruled over much of Thailand.
