Hello,
After discovering the existence of these objects thanks to the subject on the Timang, I always had the hope of finding one for sale one day.
And it’s now done!

Here are 2 Bangkols :

A very simple bronze one which seems to be the oldest of the 2. We have the impression that the opening of the mouth was intended to accommodate something.

The second, made of iron, has lost 90% of its gold inlays and all its stones (probably Intans and Rubies). But it is dated December 7, 1841 or July 12, 1841
