Old iron yak bell from Nepal, in a simple, handmade, traditional design. Bells like these are hung around the necks of the cattle for practical purposes; to help the herder locate the animals and alert passers-by on their presence.
As with many other different types of bells, this bell can be used in your personal ritual and ceremonial practices. But of course it can also be used as a unique wind chime or just as a nice addition to your altar or practice space.
Please note; this bell is original and old. It is made somewhere in the early 20th century. It is the 'real deal'; made for purely practical purposes and used as such for decades by Nepalese yak herders. Therefore it may not be as beautiful and decorative as some of the modern replica's you may find in nowadays spiritual shops. But isn't that exactly what makes it all the more charming?
This bell is approximately 7 centimeters high (without the eyelet) or 8 centimeters high (including the eyelet) and has a diameter of 6 centimeters. It weighs 117 gr.
