Description
Made in 1636, the bronze bell of Beopjusa Temple in Boeun is regarded as one of the finest examples of traditional Korean temple bells. It features a dragon loop with a sound pipe, and a pair of decorative bands encircling the shoulder and mouth, in between which are lotus boxes, each containing nine lotus knobs. Among the bell’s unique features is a band of flowers carved in high relief on its top, with each flower petal containing a miniature Buddha image. The bell is regarded as a fine source of knowledge on the style of temple bells made during late Joseon and those made by monk-artisans in the seventeenth century.
