Ceramic Bell

This ceramic bell will add a serene and bright touch to your home decor - can be hung on the wall or ceiling using a screw on hook which will be provided. It can also be hung on a curtain rod using an S-hook.

Hand built using a blush clay body, the bell is hand carved and finished with terra sigilatta which provides a subtle leather like sheen to the ceramic surface and glazed on the inside. Fired once in my home kiln to high temperature. The bell is put together using ceramic beads and a handmade natural hemp rope.

Approximate dimensions: The bell hangs at 21" down from hook and 3.5" in diameter.
