Round bowl, possibly bronze, with cracks. - Material: Bronze - Condition: Visible damage with cracks - Shape: Round bowl - Verdigris is present. There are three cracks. It's a small bowl called "kanamari." I think it's a copper compound, but I don't know its purpose. It was unearthed from the ground when we built our new house. By the way, our house is built on the site of the Daigokuden (Great Hall) of Heian-kyo, so it might have been used in the Imperial Palace during the Heian period. I've heard it might have been used in rituals at temples. It's shaped like a bell, but it doesn't sound like one. Thank you for looking.
