Dotaku (Bronze Bell)

Dotaku (Bronze Bell). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 43 1/2 in. (110.5 cm). Date: 1st-2nd century. Produced during the late Yayoi period, the distinctive clapperless Japanese bronze bells known as dotaku are thought to derive from earlier, smaller Korean examples that adorned horses and other domesticated animals. Dotaku were buried, singly, in pairs, and in large groups--occasionally with bronze mirrors and weapons--in isolated locations, often on hilltops, perhaps to ensure a community's agricultural fertility. Later dotaku had relatively thin walls and would not have resonated, so it assumed their purpose was primarily ritual.
