Thai temple bell with embossed elephants and heart scroll design. It is solid cast brass/bronze and heavy. There is a good amount of patina; verdigris with brown and green. The bell was made to look like an old antique that has been weathered as the original Buddhist bells.  

This heavy meditation bell was hand forged in Thailand by Land of Simple Treasures bronze smith. It was made as a cultural rendition of a ritual bell that is used in the Buddhist temples of many Asian countries. As a religious practice, there is usually a metal bell hanging at the entrance of most Thai temples. 

Many people will place this oriental bell in their own sacred space to enhance their spirituality and also use for meditation. The elephant design also is believed to bring good luck, especially since the trunk is up. 

The Buddhist bell is a versatile home or office decoration as they can be placed in many rooms and locations. For instance, they make a splendid desk decor or office wall shelf accents. In your home, they are ideal for the living room coffee table or end table piece. 

One of our favorite ways to decorate with this brass temple bell is to put onto an end table in our living room. 

All of these decorating ideas will bring the desired Feng Shui affect that we all cherish.

The elephant bell comes with a brass clapper and makes a wonderful chime when it is rung. There is a loop ring handle at the top so the bell can hang. 

Due to the metal casting and coloration of this type of bronze bell, the actual bell received may vary slightly from the photos in the listing.
