Status: Display

Description:
A pair of traditional small handheld cymbals, likely made of brass or bronze. Each cymbal is round with a slight curve and a raised central dome threaded with a short cord for easy finger handling. The surfaces feature intricate floral and ornamental engravings, giving them an authentic handcrafted appearance. Their warm, aged golden tone reflects cultural and historical significance, as these cymbals are used in traditional music, devotional singing such as bhajans and kirtans in India, and in meditation and ritual practices in Tibetan Buddhism, producing a clear, resonant sound when struck together.
