In China, the bell has traditionally been a symbol of wisdom and is used in Buddhist rituals to symbolize the sound or the vibrations generated by the repetition of mantras. It can also be united with the vajra into one object, the vajraghanta, representing wisdom and compassion. It measures 29cm height and dates from Qianlong (1735~1796) period. Condition is good.
