Description
This is a decorative brass hanging bell set consisting of seven small bells arranged in three tiers, connected by ornate metal plaques featuring embossed Hindu deity figures (likely Ganesha based on the visible imagery). The piece is constructed entirely of brass with an antique golden patina finish. Each bell appears to be functional with visible clappers inside.
The overall dimensions are approximately 12-14 inches in height by 6-8 inches in width, with individual bells measuring roughly 1.5-2 inches in height. A hand-held braided cord or chain at the top allows for hanging and creates gentle chiming when moved. The three decorative rectangular plaques between the bell tiers feature detailed relief work depicting Hindu religious iconography.
The condition appears excellent with even patina throughout and no visible damage, chips, or significant wear. The craftsmanship suggests this is likely an authentic Indian-made piece, possibly from the late 20th to early 21st century, intended for religious or decorative purposes. The brass shows good quality with fine detailing in the deity figures and consistent casting of the bells.
