{"product_id":"bronze-altar-bell-tibetan-buddhist-style","title":"Vintage altar bell Tibetan Buddhist style #11, B-quality","description":"\u003cp\u003eAltar bells such as this one can be used during rituals, ceremonies and healing sessions, especially at the beginning and\/or end of the session. They are used for multiple reasons. For example; they clearly mark the beginning and end of the session, making it a period set apart from the rest of the day, their sounds and vibrations cleanse space and energyfields and they call in the helpfull spirits and drive out the heavy ones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThis altar bell has been made in a common Tibetan Buddhist style where a bell such as this is called ‘ghanta’ and commonly forms a pair with a dorje. In that combination, the bell should be held in the left hand and symbolizes the feminine principle of wisdom, as personified by the Great Mother goddess Prajnaparamita. The bell as a whole, with all the traditional depictions on it, can be seen as the mandala of Prajnaparamita. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThis bell is more minimalist in decoration than some of the other Tibetan Buddhist altar bells in our shop. On the bell a row of eight lotus petals represent the Eight Bodhisattvas and the face on the handle is that of the Great Mother Prajnaparamita. Above her face, a lotus pedestal forms the base for the crown of a five-pronged dorje.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bell is from vintage origin and made of bronze. It is approximately 19 centimeters high and weighs 403 grams. As can be seen on the pictures, its design is not of particularly high quality. Also its sound is not very good; it is a bit shaky. For these reasons, this bell is labelled (and prized) as B-quality. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seawolf Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57055165612363,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/7101\/7547\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_aba630b4-0fbb-4701-8855-96bd07e7b4e6.jpg?v=1776429356","url":"https:\/\/seawolfshop.com\/products\/bronze-altar-bell-tibetan-buddhist-style","provider":"Seawolf Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
