Buddhist Tibetan Meditation Prayer Bell.
A Bronze ritual bell "DRILBU" in Tibetan or commonly known as "Ghanta".
A Tibetan bronze ceremonial bell with a gilt vajra-shaped handle, finely cast with the image of a Bodhisattva's head. The handle is surmounted by a four-pronged vajra finial. The bell's dome is decorated with low-relief Sanskrit characters on lotus petals, and features a pattern of small vajras along the fluted edges. Inside the bell, where the clapper hangs, is an intricate lotus petal design with a signature. A band of vajras encircles the lip, while a row of tassels and lotus petals adorns the dome.
The "Drilbu" or the "Ghanta" in sanskrit, is a ritual handbell symbolic of wisdom.
