Vajra and Ghanta set in gold-plated bronze

This Vajra & Ghanta set from Nepal is an artistically crafted ritual ensemble made of bronze, which is partially gold-plated. Both pieces were traditionally handcrafted and show the characteristic richness of detail of Nepalese metal art.

The ghanta (ritual bell) measures 17 cm in height and has a diameter of 9 cm. Its handle is richly gilded and shows the face of a female wisdom figure, as found in Buddhist iconography. The dark patinated bell body is decorated with sculptural ornaments, Buddhist symbols and stylized depictions of Buddha. The clapper inside produces a clear, resonant sound typical of ritual and meditative practices.

The accompanying vajra (dorje) is 12 cm long and completely gold-plated. It has the traditional five-spoke shape that converges in a central sphere. The vajra symbolizes indestructible strength and compassion, while the ghanta stands for wisdom. Together they embody the union of these two aspects - a central principle of Vajrayana Buddhism.

This set is suitable for ritual applications, meditation or as a valuable handicraft object on the home altar. Each version is a unique handmade item from a traditional workshop in Nepal.

We offer matching brocade covers in various colors that can be closed with brass buttons.
