Created in the Tibetan style, this hand bell has a handle shaped into the image of one end of a Dorje; a weapon and tool often found within Buddhist imagery within the hands of Gods and spirits. Beneath this handle flares the bronze bell, decorated with black paint so as to display flowing Tibetan script within the natural bronze coloring. Coming with a 4 1/2" long puja stick, or the wooden stick used to strike the bell, this hand bell measures approximately 2 1/2" diameter at its widest point and 4 3/4" long.
