Born from a land of extremes—the deserts of India’s northwestern frontier—steel, bronze, sand and fire combine to create bells with a range of tones that are primarily mesmerizing. Each bell is beaten into shape by hand, then baked under the sand in make-shift kilns. This annealing gives each bell its unique tone and patina. A network of artisans linked by a cooperative keeps this ancient skill alive. Dimensions: Size 8: 5.25" Size 6: 4" Size 3: 2.45" Size 2: 2.25" Bronze Made in India Show more
