Vintage Japanese Clay Bell Dorei 

This is a vintage Japanese clay bell, or dorei. This bell resembles a shishi lion dog often found guarding temples. It is gray with red, green and gold features. It has a white clay ball inside. It has a natural twine string tied at the top.
Dorei bells have a long history and have been used in festivals and ceremonies since the Jomon period (about 13000 to 2300 years ago) when they were said to have the power to ward off evil spirits.
