Antique Bronze Temple Hand Bell with Hanuman Motif

Antique Bronze Temple Bell with Hanuman

Size: 7 x 3 ½ inches (18 x 9 cm). Weight: 1 lb 0 ½ oz (468 grams)

This is a very nice example of an antique bronze hand bell that was formerly used by a priest on ritual and ceremonial occasions. The rung note is a high sixth octave D6 (1193Hz).

The top features a plinth with a praying Hanuman (Hindu Monkey God).  At the back one can his tail.

This bell was individually cast by the lost wax method and is therefore a unique one-off item. It is hard to imagine the number of times this bell has been rung.  Nevertheless, the figure is well defined, and the bell is very attractive and in very good condition for its age.

Antique bronze Temple Bells of this type are few and far between, and are highly prized by religious practitioners, shaman, yogis, healers and sound therapists, as well as collectors.

When you buy, handle, and ring this antique ritual bell you can be confident that it is a genuine and revered holy instrument that has played an important part in countless sacred rituals and ceremonies for at least 100 years. It is a fascinating and beautiful object in its own right, with the look and feel of antiquity…but perhaps more importantly, when it is rung one can sense the spiritual energy, power and purpose with which it is imbued, and the present ineffably connects to the past.
