Bells from India



These bells were found in a shop at the beach, and they were made in India. The various combinations of metal alloys in the bells and the wood used for the bell-ringer inside the bell were developed over many years by Indian artisans. The sounds these bells make are very beautiful and subtle, with many overtones audible when they move in the breeze.



They have pride of place at the door of my new garden shed.
