Vintage Temple Blocks

CDM018

£95

Four temple blocks dating from somewhere around 1920s or 30s. They would have been fixed to a horizontal rod as part of a drum kit and used for their special hollow sound. The finish is worn but this adds to the general vintage patina, I think. Because of their shape, measurements can only be approximate, but the largest is 6½ inches across, the smallest 4 inches.
