Fahua Temple: Gong
TAIWAN, Taipei
This ritual gong serves as a Dharma instrument struck during Buddhist services. Made of bronze, it is in the shape of an alms bowl with a round rim, flat base, and wide waist. The center and the lower part of the body are decorated with oval patterns.
From the inscription, it is known that it was cast during the Japanese rule (1895–1945), and most of the donors were devotees from Japan.
