Description

Seau-bo. Small, used at theatrical performances. Circular, metal, flat surfaces. Rim almost perpendicular to surface. Similar to A857, but about 2/3 the diameter, and much thicker metal. It is also heavier. Surface has some markings/scratches, and indentations that may indicate it was pounded into this particular shape, but otherwise no writing. Good condition.
