This group of seven bells are sculpted in the same shape but in decreasing sizes. The bells are topped with a semi-elliptical bell button connected to a small round base above the narrow neck. The bell body is hollow inside, and when struck with a stick, produces a crisp and melodious sound. The bell is a musical instrument commonly used in Buddhist rituals.
