Wholesale Desert Bells, Size 10

We offer these bells in ten different sizes. These are Size 10 = 6.25" The bells are photographed together to show the size differences between them. Sizes 10, 12 and 13 are the large sized bells. When these are rung, people stand still in awe. They are truly wonderful. These bells are made by Janmamad Luhar in the Kutchch desert region of western India. Janmamad 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, then dipped in copper. Women make a dough that they pat around the bells; 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 patina. After firing, EACH bell is individually hand-tuned by Mr. Luhar. This is what truly makes each of these pieces unique! Made in Gujerat, India.
