Nepal's traditional carved bronze bell

Nepal's traditional carved bronze bell

A part of Nepal's cultural heritage, this bell is not only used in religious ceremonies, but also often displayed as an artwork. It is usually made of copper and has exquisite patterns and symbols carved on the surface, which are often related to the religious beliefs of Buddhism or Hinduism. The shapes and sizes vary, but most have a top that can be shaken to produce a crisp and pleasant sound. In Nepal, bronze bells are not only used as ritual objects in religious ceremonies, but also an important embodiment of local handicraft skills and cultural traditions. Their existence not only enriches Nepal's cultural heritage, but also contributes to the world's handicraft arts.
