In traditional shamanism, bells are used for many purposes, because they can serve as houses for spirits and their sound represents the voice of those spirits.
These very nice bells show the depiction of a pig. In Chinese symbolism, the pig stands for wealth, abundance, good fortune and happiness. They are seen as hard-working, realistic, pragmatic and decisive.
The image of the pig is further decorated with Shou-symbols, a traditional Asian symbol representing longevity; a long, vital, happy and healthy life.
Bells such as these can be used as a separate amulet or for that purpose be sewn on your ritual costume or attributes.
These brass bells are made in China and measure approximately 17 millimeters wide, 25 millimeters high (measured without eyelet) and 14 millimeters deep.
