OUR BEST SELLER! Tiny handmade bronze bell, 1.35” tall. Recycled steel and copper, forged by fire into bronze, EACH bell is HAND-TUNED. Perfect as tiny Christmas ornaments or stocking stuffers, Size 0 mini bells are our bestsellers year round. These bells are made by Janmamad Luhar in the Kutch desert region of western India. Mr Luhar employs an ancient technique of bell-making, passed on to him through generations. The bells are formed from sheets of recycled steel. They are beaten into shape by hand, the seams are riveted without welding, then dipped in copper. Women make a dough that they pat around the bells to protect them during firing; the bells are then buried under the hot desert sand in a kiln. The heat anneals the metals, welding them into bronze, giving each piece its unique rustic patina. After firing, EACH bell is individually hand-tuned by Mr Luhar. This is what truly makes each of these pieces special and sets them apart! Handcrafted in Gujerat, India.
