Vintage Ornament Handmade Pahāḍa Goat & Sheep's Bell from Himalayan Mountains of Nepal and Tibet; Wreath Decor, Wind Chimes

These traditional Himalayan bells were once worn by yak, goats, and sheep across the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal and Tibet. Each piece is handcrafted with a signature tone, hammered and cured by fire, and finished with a strap handwoven by women in Western Nepal. Ethically made with fair trade wages, the bells are also used in Tibetan and Nepali ceremonies, by monks in meditation, and in traditional sound therapy.

• Distinct Sound: Every bell carries a unique chime created by the artisan’s hammering, firing process and clapper size, used by herders to identify their animals by its distinct sound.
• Traditional Fire-Curing Technique: Coated in yak butter and fire-cured for up to 48 hours, the metal develops a hollow, aged tone and textured patina that reflects its heritage.
• Handwoven Custom Straps: Straps are woven by female artisans in Nepal using hand-dyed yarn. You can choose from the four distinct color categories to suit your style.
