Copper Bell

Hand-tuned rustic bell made of recycled iron sheets covered in copper alloys. Bells were traditionally used in India by farmers to identify their livestock. Each bell has a unique sound and appearance. Can be hung either indoors or outdoors. Choose from the 2.25, 3, 4, 4.5 or 6.5 inches long bell. Each is hung by a short rope with beads.

The sounding of a bell is a signal that informs us of something; the start or end of mass or class, an emergency, a wake-up call or, in the case of the old town crier, to grab attention before making an announcement.

In Buddhism, the resonance of a bell signifies ‘pure wisdom’ because the sound is one of perfect harmony and clarity.

The Hindu Goddess, Saraswati, the bringer of knowledge and wisdom, is associated with the bell. The reverberation of the bell is used to help worshippers disengage the mind so that it becomes receptive.

In some cultures, bells are used to ward off evil and bells should be hung at each entrance to keep evil and bad luck from the home.

Any spiritual significance of the bell comes from the hearer of the bell, rather than the bell itself. A bell rung on Sunday morning may call one to prayer while for another it simply denotes the time of day. Still another may simply hear it as music to be enjoyed.
