Temple blocks with fish designs and mallet included.
Temple blocks are carved wood, set of 8. Weight of all is close to 2 pounds. Primitive carvings with nice Patina.
Old wooden set with carved images on bottom and front. 7 numbered in red 1-2-3-4-6-7-8. The 5th is not numbered but sounds like the correct tone between 4 and 6. and has same carved designs front and bottom. Either the set was made this way or number 5 was remade and replaced.
Mallet came with the set and do not know if original or not, has little hole for string to hold or hang. Larger fish has age crack but is solid shown in last picture and all have nicks, chips, scratches, scuffs, dings dents from age use and making process with unmarked number 5, nice Patinas and still looks great!!!
Now I’m no repercussion expert here so cant say whether they sound great or not but they all seem to sound in scale. Guessing made way before 1998. Cool Old Wooden Fishes!!!
