In Chinese art, the elephant is a symbol of wisdom and strength. It is also regarded as a sacred animal by the Buddhist faith.
This bell hangs below a canopy which is structured to look like multiple
Chinese coins. The coins theme is reflected in the 5 metal components
which surround the bell, each of which has a silky red tassel attached
to the bottom. A three-dimensional elephant sits on top of the canopy.
The silky thread from which the bell
hangs features a red mystic knot or symbol of infinity which is said to
further multiply its good chi.
Best placed indoors - the bronze components of this item are weather-proof;
the red line may be less durable.
