Doesn’t Ring, Sadly

This bell-shaped bronze (Dōtaku) was created during the late Yayoi period (1st–3rd century). This type represents the latest style among Dōtaku, characterized by finely incised lines forming hook-shaped partitions and a thin hanging section. Some examples are notably large and lack the ability to produce sound, distinguishing them from earlier types.
