Antique Asian Bronze buddhist bell Tibetan Meditation Ceremonial Prayer Vajra Bell and Scepter.

The bell's dome is plain bronze with fluted edges.
The "Drilbu" or the "Ghanta" in sanskrit, is a ritual handbell symbolic of wisdom.
Dorje is Tibetan for indestructible diamond scepter, and is symbolic of compassion.
The bell and the scepter are put together and used gracefully in prescribed gestures that serve as a commentary to the recitation.
Together, the Dorje and Drilbu symbolize the perfect union of wisdom and compassion necessary to achieve enlightenment.
Ritual Tibetan Bell (Ghanta) - The Bell is virtually synonymous with advanced Vajrayana tantric practice.
A Tibetan practitioner is rarely separated from this powerful meditation and ritual symbol.
It is the most widely recognized symbols used in Buddhism.
Measures: 6” H x 13” W x 3.25” D.
This special cast alloy bronze metal Tibetan bell is used for meditation, ritual, prayer and as an instrument in Buddhism.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajra bell is a widely used tool, and its reverberations are thought to expel malevolent entities from the ritual space. The hand bell, a versatile tool for spiritual practices, can be employed during meditation, yoga, and prayer rituals, as well as in sacred ceremonies by Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. It makes a beautiful sound.
