[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1394551, member: 2844"]Nice bell, dude. It is modeled after a Bonsho, a Japanese temple bell. The only difference is that it seems to have a clapper, and it is small. Bonsho's are big bronze bells which are struck with a mallet or a beam which is suspended from a ceiling or heavy structure. I suspect it is bronze, like the big ones. You can search online for the value. Tibet is a magical name in the West, but Asian items are rarely Tibetan.:)[/QUOTE]
