Bell
View through Europeana Collections
Bells served important functions during religious rituals. The large bell probably hung in a Buddhist temple. It was sounded by striking the lower edge with a wooden hammer. The narrower handbell has a handle with four faces of the Buddha. Together with the five-pointed thunderbolt (vajra) on the top, it symbolizes the ultimate unity of the universe.
