Vintage Japanese Clay Bell Dorei
This is a vintage Japanese clay bell, or dorei. Representing the animals of the zodiac, this bell is in the shape of a wild boar (inoshishi). It is a light brown natural clay color. It has a small white clay ball inside and has a white string attached on the mane. This is a souvenir from Ise Grand Shrine.
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.
