Very unique hand bell nested into its custom made original box. The shaft is crafted in wood, with a metal fleur de lis symbol on top, and silver metal bell to match.
The piece measures almost 7" in height from top to bottom, and the bell is 2" wide. The custom box is 8" x 3-1/2" x 2-1/2", and is faded on the exterior. The interior still features a deep rich purple hue.
"The sound of the bell is universally accepted as a way of communicating with the spirits, or as a herald for the arrival of a supernatural, holy power. The analogy of the bell occurs in language too, used to symbolize something of sacred origin. ... The bell is also a sacred object."
