Our hand cast solid brass table chime with the familiar symbol of dragons floats over an attractive wooden base. Clear in sound and tone, the chime is inscribed in the center with a symbol of the stylized lotus flower, one of the Eight Auspicious symbols, commonly associated with the process of becoming a buddha. Comes on a base sitting next to its own wood striker. The hardwood comes from managed yield plantations in India. Made by Tibetan metal craft artisans living in India.
