Description
Hear the mystical sound of bells whenever the wind blows with this unique Noah bell. Handmade in India, each bell is crafted by a tiny community of 20 families in the rural Kutch district who have passed along their secret alloy recipe, smelting copper and iron to create a richly detailed texture and burnished color.
Traditionally rung by shepherds to tend their flocks, the bell makes an authentic addition to backyards and porches. Individually tuned and with a handmade wooden clapper, the bell produces a rich, gentle and meditative tone that’s different from Western bells.

Story Behind the Art:
The secret family formula of smelting a combination of iron and copper as well as hand hewing of wooden clappers is passed down from generation to generation, by a tiny community of 20 families in a single village in Kutch District. The bells are traditionally used by shepherds to tend their flocks and also by rural dwellers to scare away devils and evil spirits. The traditional name of these bells is KHADKI. Khadki literally means bells in the local language of the craftsmen which is Kutchi.
