Antique Burmese Bronze Cow / Buffalo Bell (Hka-lauk) from Myanmar

Description

A very nice original Antique Burmese Bronze Cow / Water Buffalo Bell.  The trim on the bottom exterior of the Bell is quite detailed and is typical of the Bells termed Hka-lauk in Burmese that originated in the area around Mandalay.  The Bell is in very good condition and dates from at least the middle to late 19th Century. This particular Bell was purchased by my American expatriate father in the early 1970's during one of his regional buying trips when he owned an antique shop in Penang Malaysia.
