Small Himalayan bell (left in picture), etched design with removable handle. Beautiful sound when rung, good for meditation or energy clearing work.
The Bell is the most common and indispensable musical instrument in tantric Buddhist ritual. Gods and apotheosized lamas alike hold this popular symbol, along with the thunderbolt in their hands. The bell has an elemental function and its sound, like those made by the trumpet and the drum, is regarded as auspicious; it is said to drive away evil spirits. Like the church bell, the Buddhist hand bell sends the message to evil spirits that they must stay away from the consecrated area where the ritual is being performed.
One small bell only - not all three. Stands approx. 12cm high.
