19th Century Tibetan Tingsha Cymbals with Stand - 3" Diam X 1" H

Tibetan (ཏིང་ཤགས་) Tingsha bells also known as Tibetan cymbals or chimes are instruments used in Buddhist prayers and rituals serving not only as sound tools, but aids for healing, meditation, space clearing and emotional balance.  When struck together they produce a clear and high-pitched tone. 

The two cymbals are constructed of bronze both cast with crossed 'dorije' to the center and with Sanskrit text to the rim. They are joined together with a leather strap, produce a unique long ringing tone, and are presented on a custom new acrylic stand for display. 

Perfect in a variety of interior settings from Boho, Asian-Inspired, Zen... to Wabi Sabi or Mid-Century.
