@mistermarcus1979 Thank you. They are called "Mandarin plates". They are made of brass and are used in a number of traditional Chinese storytelling genres.

they are like chinese bones?

Wonderful! Thank you, Eric. I first encountered this form of storytelling in Jingshan Park, Beijing, two years ago: it was mesmerizing! I hope to track down more sources of information in English about this art form.
