Description from the seller

Tibetan Buddhist Vajra Bell

The finial of the bell is shaped like a five-pronged Vajra, beneath which is an adornment depicting the head of a Bodhisattva. The body of the bell is engraved with lotus petals, garlands, and auspicious motifs; the lines are crisp, the proportions are balanced, and the clapper remains intact.

The Vajra Bell is a significant ritual implement in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, symbolizing wisdom and emptiness; it is frequently employed in spiritual practice, the purification of ritual spaces, and ceremonial rites.
