Artisans bring these simple iron and brass tula bells to life, continuing a centuries-old tradition of bell-crafting for livestock. For three generations, our artisan partner has been making bells for cows, which are left to roam freely in India, and farmers use the bells to keep track of their animals. During holidays, it is customary to decorate cows with floral garlands and bells to celebrate their harvest. With their charming, rustic sound, these cowbells have attracted admirers well beyond their original purpose. Now, through collaborations with designers and fair-trade companies, artisans use cowbells to create decorative accents, easily hung both indoors and out. Dimensions: 3" Bell with 5" Jute Hanger.
