Antique Bronze Buddhist Ghanta Bell
About the Item
A fine antique bronze ghanta bell.
Likely of Tibetan or Japanese origin.
In the form of a curved bell with a vajra style handle.
Bell and vajra are a ritual instrument pair in many Buddhist traditions. The ringing of the bell is auspicious and meant to be a reminder of impermanence.
While a standard vajra has 5 prongs, this handle has 3 prongs - likely symbolizing the Buddha, the lotus, and the vajra.
Simply a wonderful Buddhist bronze ghanta bell!
